I don't care for the grandstanding, and Rep. Massie has been universally condemned (by the president and by both parties). At the same time, there's no reason they shouldn't be able to safely conduct a roll call, without undue delay. So the objections seem specious.
As usual, something stinks in the swamp.
At least the Kennedy Center will be well funded 🐖
Well my boss has tested positive for Covid-19. First started to feel off on Saturday. Was still working in field as of Tuesday. Wednesday shortness of breath with dry cough, red eyes, temp spiked at nearly 103. They got the temp down. He’s stable right now. They ordered test, positive confirmation.
Father of 3, husband, single income household. Please add him to your prayer lists and continue to stay safe taking this thing serious.
Not enough reps in DC to form a quorum needed for a roll call vote. They now have to scramble back last minute with limited transportation options. Might push the vote back till tomorrow. Hopefully he just gives it up and lets the voice vote proceed since he's being thoroughly excoriated.
Are you staying out of hospitals now?
Our company mandate was to shut down last week. I’ve been on the couch since last Wednesday.
This was a special circumstance that caused him to be in the field and since he was closest to that hospital, he drove as flight travel has been suspended. To be fair he said he felt off Saturday and blamed it on fatigue. Was in the field Tuesday then it hit the fan Wednesday.
He’s stable now and we believe he’ll be fine. Just escalated quickly. His family is fine as well for now.
That's good he's feeling better. I wouldn't to be working in a hospital right now. Some turning into a war zone
Fit dude, that helps. Once temp is under control the rest manageable. Just speaking positive vibes into the air. He’ll be fine and family are OK for now.
Surgery doesn’t stop, elective cases slow down but cancer cases will continue. We needed someone there and logistically he drew the short straw. As a leader he stepped up and went in but again, can’t confirm he was exposed at that facility.
It seems, at least where I am, that healthcare workers are far more likely to get exposed in the community just like everyone else than they are at work. At work our guard is up, and we have a lot of preventive measures.
Agreed there. The OR is a clean space to begin with. Traveling to and from the OR different story.
I keep reading conflicting info, is covid-19 airborne or not?
Projectile only confirmed within 6 ft. person to person contact.
Not to mention the seasonal flu (Swine Flu this year) is sill hitting hard across the globe. About 200-300 people in Florida die each week so far this year from the seasonal flu.
It spreads via water droplets from coughing and sneezing.
Edit: to be considered airborne a virus has to be transmitted through breathing. Measles is an example of this and is way more contagious than the flu and SARS-COV-2
Maybe that's what was confusing me. I always assumed airborne was when you got infected by someone coughing or sneezing on you. Didn't realized there were diseases you could catch from someone's dry breath. Geesh, that's rough.
