    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

There is no hybrid trebuchet/guillotine.  I have the patent.  I even trademarked "Trebutine (TM)" and "Guillochet (TM)". 

I'm working on a version that flings the head in one direction and the body in the opposite direction.  Ha ha, suck on that, losers.

You are getting into the rube-goldberg territory.   Just tie a cord around the neck and stretch a cloth around the head of Mitch.  let the weight drop do the work.   Or just launch the whole fucker head first into a minefield.  We can then start a gambling pool on whether they set off a charge or not.

I have to say that amongst a litany of grievances that we all could and should have with the enablers of Trump and his cult, seeing people who repeatedly said the virus is a hoax getting this vaccine is pretty high up the list. I am okay with politicians getting it who were actually out there supporting the CDC and setting a good example this year on social distancing measures. I think there is value in people who have gained the public’s trust through being honest getting it. The party doesn’t matter to me if they were not among those downplaying the pandemic.

I think that having the person hurled via trebuchet towards the huge blade would impart the appropriate amount of terror and remorse for them during the flight. 

If we miss the mark and only sever a limb (pretty rudimentary targeting system on this thing), no worries. Just load it up and try again. Hell, the wagering on the accuracy would certainly increase the entertainment factor, and if you make all of this a pay per view we can wipe out the national deficit. 

The only real question would be finding a counterweight heavy enough to hoist the Orangutan in Chief to his prime time reward. He'd probably love to know that the ratings would be huuge.

6MM doses from Moderna to be delivered this week.  That is pretty amazing. More than double Pfizer's initial launch.

Really wouldn't have guessed Moderna was going to be able to produce and deliver more than Pfizer off the bat.

Agree.  I very much misjudged MRNA.  They are still run like a clown show, but they are delivering. 

Biggest surprise to me tbh is Astra Zeneca/Oxford. 

I’ll let y’all make the many, many responses needed for this nonsense.

Yeah, I definitely diverge from Anastasis on that point - I believe that the current top of the line of succession (POTUS, VP, Speaker) should get the vaccine - because their health is literally a matter of national security.  And the same goes for the POTUS and VP-elect.  We're talking 6-8 people by my reckoning, so it's minimal.  But the top of the exec branch is the CINC and reasonably likely CINCs.  National security says those people get vaccinated.

We don't disagree.  I can see an argument for the immediate line of succession.  Lindsay Graham and Rubio and Ernst can fuck right off though.

Ok then.  Agreed.  We're good.  On this topic at least.

Umm...shouldn't we start to consider canceling flights from the UK at this point? I mean, 30 other countries have already done so and UK scientists are estimating this new variant is like 70% more contagious.

It's just a thought.

BTW, how your folks doing?

Well, I decided that
I'd get my cowboy hat
And go down to Marble Arch Station
'Cause when a Texan fancies
He'll take his chances
Chances will be taken
That's for sure

And them limey eyes
They were eyein' the prize
That some people call manly footwear
And they said "You're from down South
"And when you open your mouth
"You always seem to put your foot there"

Mom is recovered. Sister did an excellent job in getting her taken care of and has now gone back to Denver.

Dad is still in the hospital where they expect him to be a couple of more weeks. At 83, I'm afraid it's going to be a slow process and am pretty sure he'll need some PT to build back up some of his muscle strength after lying in a hospital bed for a little over three weeks now.

One of my friends on Facebook has posted quite often that the virus is a hoax and that the vaccine is, too, and that it's all about the fact that "they"  want to control us.  Today she breathlessly posted that AOC had just received the vaccine before millions of at risk people.  I said "why do you care? As we know, both the virus and the vaccine are hoaxes, so why do you care if she takes a phony drug for a phony hoax?"

No response so far.

Some Trump supporter from my hometown was scolding me that my opinion about Trump's efforts to effect world peace was "shit" because I haven't served.  I asked him about Trump's service.  Crickets.

Don’t worry, I’m sure these tests won’t provide false negatives.

Still waiting to see if I’m on the vaccine list this week. Shipment won’t be here till tomorrow - word is we’re getting 1,100 doses this week but some of those are to be allotted to local LTC staff and residents.

We lost 6 C19 patients today.

Was walking around the block around the hospital this afternoon to get some air between meetings and saw one of our ED docs.

I recruited her and she’s been with us since September. She’s a superstar and everyone has been raving about her. We got so lucky that she fell in love with a boy from our area in undergrad and they decided to settle here. Moved her mom (her only family) up here from South Alabama too. We’ve gotten to be friends.

I have a very protective feeling for most of the docs I recruit that sign with us. I’m the first person that they get to know, I get to know their families, I’ve helped most of them look for homes and find community members with common interests. They’re my “babies” - especially the younger ones.

She was sitting on a curb behind the doctors’ parking lot crying. I ended up spending 30 minutes with her. These docs and nurses and RTs and techs etc. are going through very real trauma. The lasting effects of this pandemic are going to be with us a long time and manifest in ways we aren’t even aware of yet.

Y’all hug the necks of any those folks in your lives. Bring them a meal or something they enjoy and tell them thanks. They’re exhausted and traumatized and are taking shit from strangers at times; all while literally risking their lives.

Tell them “Thank you”.

And hopefully it doesn't interrupt any dinners at French Laundry or Cabo honeymoons. 
This post is so perfectly Ana...

Well now I am in jail.

I also like how the intro had nothing to do with your point. ;)
