He. Still. Doesn’t. Get. It.
Time for all of us, including Dan Cox, to be part of the solution, instead of part of the problem.
It has to be obvious to everyone that our healthcare systems are on the brink of breaking. They are already collapsing in some areas. All this is due to increasing numbers of patients with Omicron being admitted to the hospital and healthcare staff going out sick with Omicron.
I had some sincere hope that we would finally see the Cox/Schifanelli campaign slow down on meeting in groups during this extreme surge of Omicron that is causing undue stress on our healthcare workers. But no. Dan Cox posted today:
“Frederick citizens, if you don’t want tyrants ordering 25 ppl or less for any gathering and suffocating your oxygen airways, make your voices heard at tonight’s meeting.”
He. Still. Doesn’t. Get.It.
Our healthcare workers are fed up with us.
Our healthcare workers MUST get our help.
A letter from a healthcare nurse fed up and exhausted!
Let me provide you with some other providers comments from Twitter:
“Just spoke with a hospital in Kentucky who was looking to transfer a patient – we were there 45th call.”
A nurse: “Felt feverish all day while I got my ass handed to me for 12 relentless hours in the ER. Ran to get a Covid test in the middle of the madness and it just came back positive.”
Please read this entire thread from an ED doc here:
Some portions of the above thread:
The perfect storm of Omicron in Indiana: 1. An astoundingly fast spreading virus that will hospitalize some unvaccinated people. 2. A hospital system already at the point of bursting. 3. A population with a very low vaccination rate.
And while the Omicron conflagration is burning, we have real risk of a humanitarian disaster with sickness and it scares me.
Because hospitals without capacity means a heart attack or stroke or car accident becomes something different than usual- because there is no place or people to help And right now we to need to protect the help
If you are not weeping for our healthcare workers by now, then shame on you.
Time for all of us, including Dan Cox, to be part of the solution, instead of part of the problem.
Barb, isn't that something anyone in healthcare signed up for when applying for such a position. They need to stop belly aching and do the job they signed up to do. Personally, you need to stop making it political.
