You'll be given a mask and gloves when you go into work and that's it.

Can't start doing this when we still don't even have close to enough for front line doctors and nurses.

An update on my wife's situation. She had a surgery to clear out her sinuses, and the Dr I talked to said he had never seen an infection like that in his career. He said that it was like clearing out wet cement, but he also said that he accomplished his goal, doesn't believe the infection is fungal (which is the best news) and now that her passage ways are cleared out, it gives the medicine/antibiotics a better chance to turn the infection from spreading, and fighting it medicinally. She is on a vent from when they did the surgery, and they are being cautious in weening her off some of the drugs they have going into her before they take her off the vent. I hear ventilator and immediately go fukking crazy, but my best friend is an anesthesiologist and he explained things to me in a way that keeps me calm. I am still so very grateful for all of your positive thoughts/prayers/energy and beyond humbled. I have been texting her phone pictures of the dogs, who miss her and are sad, and just whatever stupid shyt comes to my mind, she does have her phone with her, so I'm just waiting for the day when she is able to see her phone, find out how emotional I have been, and text me that i'm a "p*ssy" (and probably worse, lol, both of us being not outwardly emotional, we joke all the time whenever the other shows any deep emotion, she is just like a coli breh in that respect, but it's out of love and humor). After what have been the absolute worst 3 days in my life, I am just starting to actually be kind of more and more grateful I am not there to just watch her suffer and not be able to do anything, although I do wish I could get more updates. I have had to call every time for updates, which I don't mind doing at all, but nobody from the hospital has called me other than the 1 Dr. that did her surgery, and the anesthesiologist to get permission. I know that ICU's are slammed, and I am eternally grateful for what all these HCP's are doing to keep my world alive, and I can't even imagine how many calls they take from people a day ranging in emotion from devastated, to confused, to angry af, but with her being in critical condition, I just wish there was a better way. I'm at a point now where I am not frantic, so I am doing some work, trying to keep my mind busy, lurking threads, watching some of the shows we would watch together so when she wakes up and can talk again, I can spoil the fukk out of them for her lol, and I plan on completely remodeling the bedroom for when she comes home, getting some of the pictures I have taken blown up and canvased, I'm going to completely redo the backyard, she wanted a patio set, I'm going to build her a whole ass "retreat" back there, just spending all this nervous energy on constructive things that will make her happy when she gets home. If I can't be with her, I will use my energy to make life more enjoyable for her when I can be again. Happy Easter, Coli, and from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all of you!

Good to hear, fingers crossed for full recovery.

Wow. This is rubbish.

You have no idea how many businesses rely on the free flow of patrons. It’s not just a matter of opening doors. If a restaurant requires a certain level of daily customers to make rent, payroll, and their own expenses, they won’t make it long with people coming in at half their usual capacity.

You are think mask and gloves will help with a convention that needs 5,000 people to fit into one building?

So you take my idea and go to the maximum extreme with it? Lol

 

[mr. smoke weed]

this is just one example i can provide more of countries around the world buying hundreds of thousands of mask fro china only to find there useless



also Chinas 2nd wave is going to kick off again here in a few weeks



China is not to be trusted i hate to say it.

I don't trust China at all...... US supply chain can still make beer, we can make masks

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Can't start doing this when we still don't even have close to enough for front line doctors and nurses.

Again friend, my PROPOSAL is a slow roll

 

[mr. smoke weed]

It's crazy the thing I highlighted in both my posts is COMPROMISE and WORKING TOGETHER.....its like the idea is foreign to some of you friends!

 

[mastermind]

That's a black eyes on the us government and the American society as a whole, but I think you missed the point @Hood Critic made. They should be getting help. The government NEEDS to give these businesses help and they fell asleep at the wheel.

They can do it. Just look at the speed in which they bailed out big companies.

You can go ahead and open back businesses, but there is still no normalcy, and no guarantee that money is going to roll in or people are going to support these businesses when they reopen.

So ultimately the government is giving small business owners a horrible choice. Die from lack of resources or take your chances and die from the virus and take others with you.

He didn't miss the point. Breh is one of those old school Republicans, who support Dems cuz Republicans are Nazis.

Still prayers up until she is home breh. Love the way you are channeling this into something constructive. Super dope to see.

If you think that’s the maximum you really haven’t been paying attention.

How do think convention centers make money?

a room filled with 20 people for two hours
Or
A comic convention over 3 days? Add the hotels guaranteed three nights at capacity and vendors with packed hungry nerds.

Don't give the universe more ideas. But kind of seems like something else is coming.
