She has been very responsible as far as avoiding large gatherings/family parties, social distancing, and mask wearing. So, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the only way for healthcare workers to “not put their nursing home residents at risk” would be to lock the facility doors and let them fend for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a healthcare worker does introduce a certain level of exposure to their patients. But unfortunately these are patients at a skilled NURSING facility, and being “exposed” to a nurse is medically necessary. Regardless, my only reason for bringing my wife’s job up was in response to @NorCalCoug making a stupid ass post insinuating that I enjoy bad news about the pandemic. No, I don’t like bad COVID news, because this isn’t a phcking game. And that’s all I have to say about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wife is doing work that is important to her and I applaud her. The irony of asshats posts is that in the future they may rely on the goodwill and loving souls of people like your wife to wipe their ass when they no longer have family who wants too. Give your wife a high five from me and mine. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I was wrong about continued decline, my later prediction of a speed-bump was off, rather is was a double speed-bump. Thankfully, my recognition of trend breakage back in mid-May continues and it is not proportional. Cases tripled, deaths doubled. Here's hoping we are at the top of the speed-bump. Deaths still down 50% from peak. Also, here's hoping masks and continued social distancing works.

sactowndog Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 @modestobulldog unfortunately I don’t think deaths have peaked if you look at the lag. But clearly we do a better job of treating people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
