'YOU DON'T PAY ME ENOUGH" Cuomo did take one for the team at his press conference Sunday so I’ll give him that. Do people traveling to BU get paid for their time when they get tested? It’ll be interesting to see how this goes and how long it lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they can just zip around to get this done. Once again, it's all about the money/reimbursement. Absurd. Was it worth it? They shut down the entire healthcare system in this county for what?

ginger Posted May 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 They're going to have to do it on site. I feel badly for ancillary staff, housekeeping, food prep, activities etc. Those people didn't sign up for this. They really don't get paid to operate to the same standard as certified or professional nursing staff (lpns, rns). #Troopers :) I have not seen the series...worthy of binge watching?

You put pregnant women and their babies IN JEOPARDY...Oh...isn't that a thing? Having a facility IN JEOPARDY? IN JEOPARDY OF FACILITATING HARM TO A PATIENT? Instead of using one of the numerous suggested properties to set up a sanatorium you allowed all available staff to go to NYC instead of acting as custodians of our own community. Some of you aren't worth the paper your bachelor's and master's degrees are written on. Zero confidence BTW, I just heard on the radio Willow Point has a covid positive patient now but they're in a negative pressure room. What, you closed the door and put a fan in the window? The good news is, it's not too late..flu season comes every year twice a year. So, they pretended to have a negative pressure room and now 2 people are dead and several residents and staff tested positive. I can't imagine the viral load in the nursing home buildings. So irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 BTW, I didn't come up with that put a fan in the window and close the door idea all on my own. Other nursing homes are pretending they have negative pressure rooms too. From what I understand the NYS department of Health says they can do that to get around the governors caveat that the nursing home has to be able to properly care for the resident or transfer them. I don't want to hear your absurd excuses.."IT'S A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!" It's a Broome County epidemic of your own making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 BTW, why weren't you people testing BEFORE the governor's mandate? Do you have to be told EVERYTHING? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27 Time World Champions Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yesterday, the MSM reported that a record number of new cases of COVID-19 have been reported, making this the most deadly day so far in the Pandemic without so much as a word of explanation about the relationship between the number of tests and the number of cases. The fear must be maintained at all costs, lest the farm animals begin to realize they are being driven along the fence. I promised I'd stop posting about this subject. I'm trying.

So now Willow Point has "DOZENS" of sick residents? How'd that happen? What happened with your negative pressure rooms, why didn't they work? Who is the RN in charge of quality control and or infection control? Fire them. The one time when you have to get it right you screw it up. You had all the time in the world. Every sick resident there should sue for gross negligence. I've no doubt any lawyer worth a damn can make this stick with your fake negative pressure room. You know the saying, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The department of health knows what you did isn't working. I've been watching this unfold in every nursing home all over the state. YOU HAD ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO MAKE IT RIGHT. https://wnbf.com/willow-point-gets-cares-act-funds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 This plasma shot "easy to scale up" seems it should be on warp speed but it's been largely ignored. https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-07-10/injection-prevent-coronavirus-feds-manufacturers-fail-to-act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 To follow up...from the LA Times article "Scientists who question the Federal delay argue that the immunity shots are easy to scale up and should enter clinical trials immediately. They say that until there’s a vaccine, the plasma shots offer the only plausible method for preventing potentially millions of infections at a critical moment in the pandemic." "Using technology that’s been proven effective in preventing other diseases such as hepatitis A, the injections would be administered to high-risk healthcare workers, nursing home patients, or even at public drive-through sites — potentially protecting millions of lives, the doctors and other experts say."

thomas Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 To continue; the article makes some good points. According to the article, as an interim measure the plasma injection makes sense until a vaccine is found. And there is no guarantee it will be found.The plasma shot is effective for 2 months of immunity. Furthermore pharma sees the plasma as low profit, thus no interest. So, as in the case of ventilators, should the President mandate plasma vaccine for immediate warp speed and production when trials prove it's safety? "Scientists say that until there’s a vaccine, the shots offer the only plausible method for preventing potentially millions of infections at a critical moment in the pandemic." So where are the plasma inoculations we were promised months ago? Can schools, colleges really be expected to open without them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
