ICU tales

Quoted from a Salt Lake City TV station’s website: Robin Grigg’s patient, struggling to breathe, looked at her and asked what was wrong with him. She showed him his positive COVID-19 test results, knowing it was not the first time he had seen them. “No,” he said. “COVID[...]

Yes, blame Republicans

It’s been 20 years, at least, since Americans felt safe. The incoming Bush administration ignored warnings by departing Obama administration national security officials. (See article here.) Perhaps the 9/11 terror attacks couldn’t have been prevented anyway, but Bush and the people aroun[...]

Dying for freedom (video)

How to deal with people who believe vaccination is a “mark of the beast”

Respect their religious beliefs. Don’t make them get shots. Leave them alone. But I don’t want to be exposed to them. I won’t sit in an airline seat next to them. I prefer not to shop for groceries with them. I don’t want my masked child in a classroom with their unmasked chi[...]
