A part of being a Nurse is the acceptance of death. It's also the acceptance that though we may not understand lifestyle & treatment choices, it's the cornerstone of patient rights. If your personal beliefs impact day to day work. It may be time for a break or switch 1
COVID19 is ruthless and takes prisoners. AIDS for over 20 yrs took no prisoners, it was a death sentence. It changed life as we knew it. Acceptance of human behavior is how the few survived.We lost family, friends, and coworkers.2
Children came up positive due to transfusions. People couldn't understand why ppl wouldn't use condoms or clean needles. Worse those that lied about their status. 3
Pandemics only change with the name of the Virus. History shows human behavior doesn't.This leaves the front line believing people don't care.
Which is a fact of life and unfortunately true. And ppl have no duty to care for HCPs or other ppls
feelings 4
If people cared about humanity, they couldn't drive by a homeless encampment with good conscience. Though the very ppl complaining do it daily.
Empathy and compassion were never meant if sincere to be discriminatory.5
Global herd immunity is realistically not obtainable. Statistics showed this based on mask compliance. Vaccines won't be mandated. So what's next? How do citizens and HCPs move frwd?6
The same as with AIDS ,acceptance and move frwd. Which for some may mean quitting and starting over. As happened from 1985- 2006.
Does anyone care? Some do, most do not. Acceptance is digesting that fact 7
For some the fact that many human's lack a conscience and base empathy will be too much. Codependents are drawn to hcare, which is a toxic mistake. CoDs disguise caring and control. Were not licensed to control human decisions, but support them 8
Next is the long road of adjustment for global hcare systems. The systems exist long after we leave this 🌎, only
the names change. Not the behavior. FIN
1985 marked the great exodus where the United States felt and would lose Nurses continuously until 2007, yet it never recuperated to early 1980 numbers -1 nytimes.com/1987/07/07/us/…
While Nursing professors hypothesize the etiology, it's well documented it was the lethal AIDS pandemic. Nurse's left out of fear, PTSD, and frustration. From 1980 until 2004. AIDs was death sentence. 2
In 1985 the mode of transmision was known and prevention. The clean needles program later started and condoms were given out free.
Despite this ppl continued having unprotected sex, not wearing gloves, and sharing needles. 3
MSM and SM aren't covering the International effort to aide India adequately. China, Pakistan, and Russia, their allies and neighbors are providing support. As well has many other countries; USA,UK, Singapore and more. Both China and Russia have offered immediate Vaccines. 1
Singapore flew in Oxygen yesterday as well as UAE.
They are in process of building 500+ Oxygen plants.
Pakistan has activated its military to deliver supplies, as has China. This focus on the USA ban is not required.2
The ban is on raw materials to manufacture vaccines and others have demanded the USA give the AZ jab to India. The AZ jab is allocated for her allies, Canada on the Northern border and Mexico on the Southern. Part of it has already shipped. 3
🔥ALL OF CONGRESS IS GETTING THE VACCINE.🔥
How many retired or at risk
Nurses & MDs could have
been vaccinated and returned to
help the frontline? ANSWER-MORE THAN 500. /1
Even worse state level politicians
are also scheduled.These same elected officials & Senators say
Americans DO NOT NEED RELIEF.THINGS ARE BETTER- JUST GET A JOB.While vaccinating older politicians is logical ,the rest are NOT 2/
This is not a political issue- BOTH
PARTIES ARE DOING IT.Why do young healthy reps like Gaetz and AOC Deserve vaccines ,before the frontline? Answer- THEY DO NOT. 3/
There are HCPs delaying the Vaccine- that ARE NOT ANTIVAXXOR
⏩They are between 44-64
⏩Unemployed due to High Risk
For themselves and a family mbr
⏩DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE
⏩GETTING VAX PRODUCES RISK BY ENTERING THE PUBLIC
1/
HCP are 30% more likely to get COVID19.HCP that have become Long Haulers or died- average ages 35- 75.HCP with prexisting conditions or family mbrs with such risk perm disability and or death .10s of 1000s are unemployed due to this 2/
The vast majority of these at risk
HCP , especially 55 and above are 1099 or independent contractors that have no health insurance.A COVID19 hospitalization would bankrupt them. 3/
