With H1N1 we had the best responsive admin and mid levels who listened to our needs and were very proactive in anticipating problem areas. Right now my coworkers are in a learning curve that's not letting up. Some admin and mid level haven't experienced a pandemic, they need guidance and reassurance.
My pet peeve is keeping useless security measures in place that we simply can't follow with the covid rules that admin put out...no foresight...no discussion of down range effect. Craniorectal transimplantation at it's best.

It’ll be interesting when this is under control, and the legitimate analysis is done will the 10 and 12 hr health care shifts be found hazardous to the providers

The studies were done years ago. Efficiency is cut by 30% after 8 hours. From 3 am to 7 am is the dread hours. Everyone wants to code at 0645.

All of you can talk about politics all you want. I've shared some things about COVID 19 testing, my wife's health, self quarantine, etc.

Here's what I'm going to tell you. My wife and I have been self quarantined for about a month, we wear masks and gloves when we go out, we wipe down everything we purchase before it comes in the house, our hands and exposed skin is dry, we are in our 70's and we both are vulnerable, my wife because she has Celiac Disease and has had pneumonia 3 times. Me, I'm a he art disease guy, I had my aortic valve replaced in 2005. We've worked at being as healthy as we can be....

And today is a day to celebrate, we kissed for the first time in a month.

Stay safe, love your families and take care of your neighbors as well as all those within reach of your care.

Germany accuses the US of 'modern day piracy' for seizing a shipment of medical equipment - as French officials claim they were forced to fight with American buyers for millions of masks on a Chinese tarmac

The United States has angered Germany and France after allegedly seizing millions of masks set to be shipped to the European nations amid the coronavirus crisis.

On Friday, German officials hit out at America for 'intercepting' 200,000 masks they had ordered from a 3M factory in China.

As 3M is an American-owned company, the US was able to 'confiscate' the shipment of special FFP2 and FFP3 masks which were on their way to healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 outbreak in Berlin.

'We consider that an act of modern piracy,' Berlin's interior minister Andreas Geisel blasted.

'You don't treat your transatlantic partners like that,' he is further quoted as saying in The Financial Times.

President Trump is desperately trying to secure masks and other personal protective equipment for Americans as the nation's emergency stockpile depletes.

On Thursday, the Commander-in-chief ordered 3M to manufacture more masks for Americans as the coronavirus infection rate in the US soared above 258,000. More than 6,600 have died.

Meanwhile, Germany has clocked 90,964 cases and 1,234 deaths as of Friday afternoon.

The United States has also earned the ire of France, where 64,338 people have tested positive to COVID-19, and 6,507 have died.

On Thursday, US buyers paid three times the going rate to secure a shipment of face masks from China that were due to be dispatched to France, two French officials claim. The US has denied the allegation.

Paying cash to divert the air cargo to the US, the buyers are said to have commandeered the shipment of masks as they sat on a plane at Shanghai airport ready for take off.

The order of several million masks had been due to arrive in part to the Grand Est region in north west France, an area where intensive care facilities are already struggling to cope with the volume of coronavirus patients.

Jean Rottner, a doctor and president of the GrandEst regional council, told RTL radio that the US buyers had turned up on the tarmac offering cash.

He said: 'On the tarmac, they arrive, get the cash out … so we really have to fight.'

The leader of the Ile-de-France region, which includes Paris, also accused unidentified Americans of swooping in with cash at the last minute to secure shipments already promised to French buyers.

Valerie Pecresse, the chief of France's most populous region, said: 'We lost an order to the Americans who outbid us on a shipment that we had lined up.'

Pecresse claimed that while France pays on delivery for such supplies - crucial in the global fight against the pandemic - 'Americans pay cash' without bothering to see the goods.

France has ordered 1 billion face masks due to be delivered within the next 14 weeks and has deployed an air-bridge flight with China to deliver them amid the ongoing covid-19 pandemic.

A senior US official on Thursday rejected allegations from French politicians that Americans had accroached the French shipment during the coronavirus crisis, calling the stories 'completely false.'

In Washington, a senior administration official told AFP 'the United States government has not purchased any masks intended for delivery from China to France.'

'Reports to the contrary are completely false,' said the official, asking not to be named.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday asked officials to look into similar claims that masks were being diverted from his country, calling such reports 'concerning.'

Bragging? It's this simple, my wife and I have been together for 44 years and the simple pleasure of sharing a kiss at any time is one of the pleasures of our relationship. sequestering and being careful and not sharing a kiss was a big disruption in our daily lives. We love each other, sure, we have our difficult times, who doesn't but... One of the most cherished elements "for us" is sharing a kiss. So yea, it's been a long month.

Crap like this is why people despise him. I've been pretty lenient on criticizing him over Covoid-19. Any President would have made mistakes. But this complete lack of awareness and denial still astonishes me. It has been three years. The buck never stops with Trump, it is always someone else's fault, even his own self-appointed officials. I'm tired of the whole thing and his spiel.

Blue font on here means sarcasm, my friendly duck. We don't use it much in the political forum, because every other post is sarcasm.

Nice post and good luck. My wife and I are doing the same. She has sarcoidosis which hasn't flared up in a while but likely would if she gets this virus. One person here keeps accusing me of living in fear. Damn right. I'm scared to death. But not for me.
