RE: Are our liberties threatened?
I am thrilled the governors, at least mine, have essentially shut down businesses that are non essential and have restricted several other things in hopes to curve the COVID-19 pandemic.
I think its a cover up the covid-19 for somethings far more sinister.
I'm sorry, but this virus is real. Losing patients to this, is real. The fear of going into a room without enough PPE to help someone with COVID-19 is real. The horror of watching them take their final breath because they could not recover from this virus is real. The fact that I have not seen my family or friends for over a month because I have been exposed and I do not want to give it to them, or anyone else, is real - but because I am in healthcare and because I do help care for people requires that all of this fear and pain all of us healthcare workers have on a daily basis, we have to set aside because the person laying in front of me trying to breathe is also scared for his life.
We have people protesting to re-open the state - the hospitals cannot take more patients with COVID-19 because people are stupid enough not to abide by the precautions, but when it comes time, we'll be there taking care of them and hoping they don't die, even though they were part of the reason why we have the shutdowns extended for a reason.
The virus is real, not some cover up that the nations randomly decided to have to kill off half their countries, unless the whole plan was to devastate Italy in ways they won't be able to recover, or have dead bodies sitting outside in tractor trailers because we can't fit anymore in our morgue.
it makes me wonder why they feel the need to garner so much control over the public?
The public is stupid - that, is why. Because the public seems to think that governments, need I mention all around the world and not just the US, have it out for their population, but when the time comes and they are diagnosed with COVID19, they understand that maybe the government wasn't all crazy to begin with...
But you know, "if you get sick, just go to the hospital, right?" - because healthcare workers aren't working 24 hour shifts with 6 hours of sleep already, why not ignore the governments and world health organizations because the hospital will be there when we get sick... funny, because of this, we have to turn others away when they come to the ER because we cannot expose them to the virus, or push past surgery's that bring in income for the hospital - so not only are healthcare workers being worked to the bone (I cried twice just 3 hours ago..) but they're also facing layoffs and decreases in pay because the hospitals cannot survive currently. And yet, we'll still care for everyone involved because that is what we do.
Liberties are not threatened, my life, all of our lives, are though. I would rather not contract COVID-19 because the public wants to reopen their states and businesses and create a area for this virus to thrive. Your liberties? Please. Be in my shoes for a day.
But, yeah, the government is just crazy.
