  1. Just let the Republicans die. IF you flaunted the virus and didn't wear a mask, and spread disinformation it was all a hoax and a left wing conspiracy, insisted schools stay open during a worldwide pandemic, and you're adamant that the virus still does not exist while you're coughing out your lungs on your death bed, then imho, you're a Darwin Award that deserves to die. Let mother nature run it's course and take care of these Republicans. You can't change their minds, and you can't save them.

    Now, if they are a sane and rational person that caught the virus through no fault of their own, but from one of these @sshat Republicans running around to super spreader events… then by all means, do everything you can to save them. There needs to be some kind of triage at admissions to filter out the Republicans from the smart people, and just send the Republicans off to their own ward to die a peaceful death in denial, and follow their demagogue into that Great America or their imaginary god into whatever Heaven they were promised by slick televangelist con men.

    I mean, don't be mean, give them some asparin or Tylenol and some sugar water, they'll be fine. Who knows, maybe the Tylenol and sugar water will work. Decorate in red, white, and blue streamers and put MAGA signs and Trump posters throughout it to make it welcome and a familiar home to them. Hang lots of American flags and put a TV with FOX News blazing 24/7.

  4. Certainly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the teachers, nurses, and related persons who bravely confronted the treatment of the new coronavirus!
    However, there are many who turn their backs on the new coronavirus and evacuate as soon as possible, after the problem is over, "I'm a doctor!" This is also true.

  5. COVID-19 is taking a toll on all of us, but this is especially true for healthcare workers. They are risking their lives and the lives of their family members to help all of us. It's pertinent that they receive emotional support during this time. In fact, all of us need access to mental health support now and even after the pandemic ends. If we don't get in front of this suicide rates and substance abuse will only increase.

  6. Most of the real good doctors and nurses know the responsibility they took on when they took the job let's not make it more than it is with your fake sympathy and empathy trying to arouse these people the hated president people can see through fake news people can see through your fake stories

  7. This is crazy, team shut it down!
    These are truly domestic enemies of the United States because they are bankrupting the state and federal government let alone what they're doing to the economy of individuals who own businesses.
    We can't print money forever and even if we did we run an extreme risk of runaway inflation where our money becomes far less valuable around the world let alone at home.

    I've been advocating the model and Sweden which never did a shutdown but just enforce social distancing from the beginning. Yes they had an initial amount of deaths that were high and they were doubting themselves but that plateaued and they will achieve herd immunity and be done with this while we will be repeating this cycle next winter / next year / for months on end.
    How many people are going to die because governmental services are not going to be available when this is supposedly all over.
    I've been telling people for months now this virus is not going to just disappear. It's here to stay and it's not if you get the virus it's when you get the virus.
    Also I am mad as a hornet about not having antibody test everywhere. I happen to be one of those people who think I was exposed to this bug in late January early February but instead I'm in lockdown because the nanny state says that I can't make free choices on my own.
    I'm a firm believer and you spend your money and you take your chances. We should let people know the risks are taking.
    Also one of the informed decisions could be that counties report how busy their hospitals are. This may prompt people to lay low if they know their local hospitals are overwhelmed.

    I believe the only answer is a show of force where militia groups or heavily-armed people show up in protest. I know that's not legal in every state but I don't think that politicians are going to listen otherwise unless the police say; oh hell, that doesn't look good, we better make them happy on some level.
    This is truly a domestic enemy, this whole team, shelter in place. I say no! If you're worried about Coronavirus then YOU hide in fear forever!

  8. Pathalogical liars. Hospitals are cutting hours and laying off staff. There is no surge of sick. Viral season is over yet the government and mainstream media want us to believe this garbage.

  9. 🙏🤦‍♂️😭

  10. Unfortunately the right wings have repeatedly shown how little care care for the health and wellbeing of these frontline Heroes.

  11. i am an essential employee who has and continue to work through this pandemic. We are exhausted mentally and physically so that others can be saved. I pray for all essential employees including those that are not being appreciated by our companies or fellow mankind.

  12. What happen to QUITTING? QUIT the stupid job and save yourself FIRST.
    No job, customers, patients, money is not worth losing your life.
