have caused the latest explosion of covid.
But even worse, it has created hospital staff, equipment shortages. It has also created shortages of hospital beds for sick patients.
Doctors are now forced to ration care to those severe cases of covid. Doctors are being forced to choose between who to treat, who they can attempt to save, and those too far gone to save.
This rationing is killing patients that they might otherwise be able to save. Doctors have no choice as they are overwhelmed by those sickened by covid.
Hospitals, doctors and nurses are being overwhelmed to a point that they are forced to make these grim choices.
They simply have no alternative.
It's wearing our doctors and nurses thin as they struggle emotionally with the horror they are witnessing on a daily basis.
Trump's rejection of science and his choice to ignore the devastating effects of covid have now led to more than 270,000 in the 10 months since covid started spreading. It has caused a national crisis throughout our entire healthcare system.
Have governors issued any state of emergency orders? If not, it's time. Their hospitals are beyond critical level of emergency.
Agent Orange's pandemic is burning our country to the ground. As in scorched earth.

The presidential oath is a legally binding required oath of office..
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Trump's willful actions and choices violate that oath. To the tune of 270000+ dead US citizens in 10 months.
Covid is now becoming a leading cause of death in the US. It may soon rival heart disease. The sick part, so many of these deaths could have been avoided with better leadership.
Trump and the GOP's refusal to help states with additional covid funding and stimulus have created this new hospital shortage crisis.
Said funding could've hired more front-line healthcare workers, bought more hospital equipment, purchased more medications that may aid the fight against covid, and built more temporary quarantine facilities for overflow patients.
Has Trump not violated his oath to a criminal level? The same can be said about almost the entire GOP that have stone-walled new covid funding for states. The GOPs stone-walling has become the #1 national security threat that we've ever seen.

(6,829 posts)We just need to re-activate all the death panels that republics think were created after the ACA was passed.
Like jury selection, we could get a panel of twelve peers of the dying and make the thumbs up or down decision.
Ironic that the thing republic fears never happpened, but they're forcing it to happen in a mutated form as a result of djt politicizing mask wearing. loyal trumpers don't gotta wear no steenkin' masks! Resist step one of demoncRATS mind control conditioning.
