Quote.. “ On that subject, I'm not - perhaps to some, surprisingly- a fan of U.S. hospitals. Avoid them when at all possible. “ If you can’t stand by your statement which I have called you out on multiple times then it’s best not respond at all. If you are stuck on the civil war remark which I admit is theoretical LOL.. then go on and have a nice day as well. Tim, either you want to be part of problem or you want to be part of the solution. You have plenty of solid knowledge on the issue, it’s best you stop throwing rocks at your piers and offer some assistance. which will it be?

I haven’t avoided anything. Part of problem solving is A admitting there is a problem and B.. wanting to solve the problem. I have done both, if you want to make a true difference then PM me and we have have meaningful conversation on how we can problem solve this. If you want to continue throwing inflammatory statements then fill your boots. Your an RN! You of all people should not be persuading people to not get medical help regardless of your personal opinion.

My apologize to everyone for helping highjack this. Thank you for everyone who is doing their part in preventing this. You are all doing an Job.. Well done.

I’m all for improving on a system that needs improving. As for this being a problem for decade? Hell, they cut soldiers legs off in the civil war due to infection... this isn’t new. The issue is it’s pretty darn easy being a Monday morning quarterback on a gaming site quoting issues during a pandemic. Discouraging people from getting healthcare is not the thing to do, and if you were in healthcare that’s NOT what one should do. You seem to have a valuable point of view, I would encourage you to help rather than just criticize. Every opinion is of value and I appreciate yours. im curious, what did you do in healthcare?

My point is throwing out flippant statements like this only discourages people from seeking medical help and worse during an epidemic is the worse thing you can do. Yes, you are correct this is an issue, healthcare providers acknowledge this and we trying to do better. Where do you think your stats come from? Studies have shown that proper education and training of health care workers increases compliance with and adoption of best practices (e.g., infection control, hand hygiene, attention to safety culture, and antibiotic stewardship) to prevent HAIs. Where is your statement about antibiotic resistant pathogens that are sweeping through healthcare? What about the stats for HAIs in all nations including third world countries or that healthcare has improved dramatically in this situation. I have no problem admitting we can do better, god knows we can all do better. If your point was to throw a grenade in the situation then great, well done. Note: Your stats are correct and sadly all those patients deserved better, but it wasn’t from a lack of trying to do right thing. We just need to do better because lives are on the line.

That is a little harsh don’t you think? We are the ones on the front line of this mess and you want to shit all over us?

Hey Ice Queen, I wanted to see how you were holding up my Montana friend. Last time we had a chance to chat you seemed very stressed with the PPE situation, Im glad to hear that was straightened out. I work in a 750 plus bed hospital and I was just up in ICU. They have 22 beds dedicated to ICU, 18 of them are Covid patients. For those who think this is a hoax, you dont have an idea what its like in the real world. Stay safe my southern friend, you are doing an amazing job!

All this chatter about Vaccines and masks, should I or shouldnt I? My thoughts? Please use your common sense, do the right thing the decent thing. If you cant do that for yourself, then do it for your family and loved ones, your friends and neighbors. I understand we all have our opinions and I respect that.... well except Mike, your just an asshole (lol) That was just for you buddy! Thanks

Life is precious Beers, you should know that. We don’t pick and choose who lives or dies. We have evolved from the natural order and in some cases we can make a difference now, regardless if it’s cancer or Covid. People like ice Queen have been making that difference well before Covid. Don’t worry, I have no intention to flipping you off... I have no interest to.

Crunch, are you channeling Hxtr? For you are sounding like him more and more with each passing day.

I am so sorry to hear that my friend.

To those who are tired of masks... well we are tired to.. Just do what’s right.

Ok Chicken Little (lol), take it easy. Healthcare professionals have been wearing masks forever, I don’t see them growing a third eye. as for the anti covid nurse? There are 3.8 million nurses in America, let’s ask them.. and why aren’t these people dropping by their local ER to lick bed pans and door knobs?

Great job, well done. Well

Getting a little “rusty” Mike? or is the Napalm in the morning getting to you? lol

That is so friggin wrong Ron! I can’t unsee that now lol

You forgot to mention you have been batshit crazy for years...

That’s great news Mike.

This guy kills me lol

The cold reality is old men are the ones that declare war and its young men that pay that price.

Great pics Tom, good looking kid to my friend.

It’s hard to imagine living through such a horrific time in history.

Lol those are unique lines on that guitar. I have always been partial to the mid Sixties sound so I didn’t appreciate Gibsons as much as I should have. I know they suffered from production problems in the past but they have taken a page out Epiphone’s model and recreated some awesome classic models. I love that they went back to hand wired pods etc. I own a J100 acoustic myself (reissue).
