So mom tested hot for Covid. And in my pissed off sarcastic way. I called my repig rep and asked if he could hook up a chopper ride to Walter Reed for her I mentioned there is a huge field near her nursing home. A bird could get in and out no problem I added she has worked as a nurse all her life paid taxes. Much more than the $750 the trumpublican orange messiah has paid.
I talked to our mom yesterday shes holding her own she was laughing and joking. Perhaps she will beat it been like six days. My kid brother who is diehard trumpig supporter is losing it. I mentioned hey weve lost close to four hundred thousand and now you are upset because it is in our range. Personally it was a tight spot mom is in , living in nursing home. They have had staff test positive and other residents truly theyre trying their best with no federal assistance.
Like many others we now just wait hoping for the best. Yet understanding that this could go sideways. And it has destroyed so many before us so now were in it in it hard.
Update thank you in advance for the great replies. This is our reality as a nation were all in this together. And unfortunately with these evil pigs in charge it has turned into genocide.
I hope your mom makes it through this fine.
Is a saint for being a nurse and helping others. Its reality that it takes something hitting in your range before it changes your brothers heart. Praying for your Moms recovery.

Your mom and your family will be in my thoughts. Positive vibes going your way.

(5,067 posts)She is trained in care of ICU Covid patients and travels to hospitals that have more patients than staff to care for them. Thankfully your mom does not need the care of nurses like her and hopefully never does. Will be thinking of you in the coming days.

(65,042 posts)My BiL is in assisted living home, too. He got COVID a week ago.
Big outbreak at that center.
Only 165 residents. Not sure of staff size, but they have had 197 cases!
They had totaled 15 by the beginning of November. Now, 197. 182 cases in 8 weeks.
The went from having a little over 2 cases a month for 7 months, to 23 cases a week.
Folks in those places are essentially sitting ducks once an outbreak starts.

Go easy on your brother. Maybe this situation will be his come to Jesus moment.

(31,998 posts)It is infuriating that the worthless pig in DC gets top tier treatment courtesy of the US taxpayer and the rest of us depend on whatever our state can afford to do.
Especially when said worthless pig paid no income tax and cares only about himself.
I hope your mom gets better soon.

(14,531 posts)I have come to the point of thinking about suing trump. He had medicine that is not even available to us mere peons. Our tax dollars paid for his treatment that we aren't even allowed to get.
Who's in for a class action lawsuit?
