you watch the pandemic unfold, knowing it can be slowed, and have all these people who are accelerating its growth now expecting you to risk your life, and your family, to help them, and then they scream at you for hydrycholoquin... and at the end of the day you go on line and find yourself called a crisis actor and a traitor to drumpf for your trouble.

i've also heard hospitals in Florida are losing about two nurses EVERY DAY to quitting.
