I'm not seeing how using the NPI would prevent tragic deaths like this one. Thanks for clarifying.

This doctor would be alive and likely tens of thousands of others would be alive today if it weren't for tRump's mitigating statements about Covid19 when he knew the dangers, his refusal to even encourage wearing masks and his killer covid rallies.

He said that if every life lost in that event was a child under 5, there would be an Asian Tsunami of dead children every 9 days.

He finished his example by saying that, if there is a god, that god is either powerless or evil.

I don't understand people who believe in free will but expect God to step in and save us from our actions or the actions of others. What happens on earth is entirely due to our own behaviors, individually or collectively.

But not enough of those people on the right are willing to follow the protocols that slow the spread of the disease.

Araujo-Preza lived the American Dream, Araujo said.

Born in El Salvador, he came to the US in 1994 to continue his medical education, studying at Staten Island University Hospital in New York and Tulane University in New Orleans. In 2001, he moved to the Houston area and worked as a pulmonologist for nearly two decades.

As a physician who treated respiratory diseases, Araujo-Preza was on the frontlines of the Covid-19 pandemic almost as soon as it hit.

.....immigrants or other people of color? It eems that every time a news reporter speaks to an exhausted doctor or nurse, that this is the case. It's been pointed out to anti-immigrant racists and bigots many times over the years, that the nice doctor who just performed the operation that saved them is a Muslim, or from Africa, or from South America or a very nice man from India. I like to think that this has changed a few minds and that the pandemic will change a few more.

I fear that many of these healthcare personnel are at the end of their rope, exhausted and perhaps not taking the best of care of themselves......all due to tireless dedication.

We appreciate this man's hard work and selflessness......... ......
