(97,721 posts)51. Yes Obama went to help and comfort.
I saw what he did. I love him for it. But comfort is a far cry from 24/7 critical care.
However that is a far cry for the healthcare workers being asked to go into a red zone to care for people in a state that does not care for them. Everything Abbott has done has increased there death rate and has no plans to change that.
Yet he wants to have them come in, risk their lives and mental heath for the sick and dying that he made happen. He hasn't said, I will mandate masks and vaccines. He said help my political future.
Healthcare workers are leaving the profession in droves. The hospitals are on the brink and the dying will continue in massive numbers unless these states change direction.
