I just lost my shit arguing w a nurse that Trump is completely incompetent. She says "it's a very tough job and I don't know what he's going through. Poor trump. His job is hell right now.". I told her, his job is hell bc he created that hell w his stupidity and incompetence. The fact that we are even making our own masks is a tribute to the gross negligence of our leadership. Smdh. Honest to god. How can people be so damn stupid.

(3,401 posts)Automatically disqualified from the healthcare profession if you still cant see how bad this is being managed with the worst yet to come.
It doesnt take much of a brain to see what this crisis has exposed about this fraud. Especially if you have to literally risk your own health, and their defense in normal everyday protective equipment is not available.
I would like to see an approval rating poll taken from Healthcare professionals only.

(3,383 posts)But when you're making your own masks, you would think it would spark something in their brain that, maybe, just maybe, something is wrong. They are about to get their asses handed to them and they don't know it yet. Medical supplies from the national stockpile just arrived in AZ. I'm sure they're not giving it to us bc the ran out if storage room. Shit is about to hit the fan here.

(3,401 posts)She hates for me to bring up the subject of politics as much as I hate her conversations on bra sizes for women over 50....Until this week with the unavailability of all supplies, she is flipping pissed and watching the Whitehouse press briefings and sees the obvious lies.
After many years of trying, I have help to convert one....my kids are next

(3,383 posts)What was it about the press briefings that ticked her off? I mean, I know WHY but I am curious as why for her. What exactly it is that made the light bulb go off?

(3,401 posts)...on Wednesday, Trump has promised 10 days ago that anyone wanting a test could get one. They Test 10 people on Wednesday and by Friday had 3 positive results.
She sees the difference in opinion between Trump and Dr. Fauci, she says that it is obvious who is telling the truth.
She even said that a person that speaks truth from the heart doesnt need to read from a script, as she sees Trump do poorly.
My favorite came yesterday when she said that any man with a comb-over is lying about their baldness, is simply a liar.
We are in a Red State, so the truth is hard to come by. But not getting the test, then the positives really opened her up.

(26,280 posts)wrong as so they are willing to blind themselves for someone that seems like they know what they are doing and the Republican party has been exploiting that for decades to gain more and more power.
Hell yesterday in the checkout line at a major grocery store one of the managers was working the register and we got to talking for a minute about the virus and he said we had nothing to worry about because it was all still contained in Wuhan.
I had to break it to the moron that it was already here in the United States and he didn't believe me.

(5,164 posts)But then not all people in medicine are the best. A doc who became a friend later who was R I think, did not understand a crucial point of one of my conditions, and the same goes for many others. I have seen a lot. More recently one of my fur babes was sent home with contagious bodily secretions all over after lying to me about cleaning.
