The mask ......

Sometimes I leave a public building and walk a block or two before I realize. I’ve done this in the car too.

It’s not that I have an easy time wearing a mask, I just do it.

Little kids are so easy going about them. Teenagers may be compliant, though it must be tough if one/some of the crowd give them a hard time.

They can't close down the hospital. We have to be here to take care of people. I questioned the chief of medicine about their decisions on who gets quarantined and who doesn't cuz I'm a pain in the 🤬.

He told me if enough employees get exposed they can't just shut down and send everyone home (staff & patients). Someone has to be here to do the work and take care of people. So if they have 6 employees out then they don't have enough people to cover and God forbid someone should have to work overtime. 🙄 They call it modified quarantine. (more 🙄)

If I get this crap and need to be hospitalized I have to have someplace to go. It's just a bad situation. And there isn't enough staff in KS that can run in and do a 2 wk stint like the hospitals in NY. My mother said they saw on the news last night that the hospital in Wichita is full atm. So I suspect it won't be long before ours fills up.

I certainly would not want to be a patient or have a family member be a patient in a hospital or facility where the staff were working when they should be in quarantine.

Here our health dept. would insist that staff members who had been exposed be sent home to quarantine or they'd shut the place down and transfer the patients. If sending the exposed staff home to quarantine would leave them with not enough staff, then shut the place and transfer the patients.

I am not picking on you, but I think that it is unconscionable to have exposed staff working in a facility that takes care of sick/older people who might be more susceptible to the virus (not to mention staff like you). We all saw how covid went through nursing homes in the northwest earlier this year and killed people right and left.

I totally agree. I already decided if I get it I'm gonna be givin somebody in upper management hell because I'm already mad as hell as it is. I'm ticked because they're not protecting us or the patients and I'm ticked because they advertise on the radio about how much they care about staff and patients. It's a crock.

What's worse Butterfly is the fact that if we speak up we get told if we're not comfortable with the situation we are free to leave.

Every single employer in the USA gave/gives that response even before the virus. Now, with thousands more out of work, people are easily replaced and that kind of response still stands, unfortunately.
 
I've been using a bandana
Like the bad guys in old westerns

I do not wear it outside of a store
I just stay away from people

My lady hoses me down before I get in the truck
But, of late, I've been using the store's sanitizer when I enter and exit
