The beatings will stop when morale improves

The beatings will continue until moral improves
Is the saying

Moral will only improve when we force it to improve

always been that way always will

The g is silent and sounds like a j

Morale ? Regardless, did you miss the metaphor ?

The "hysteria" will stop when hundreds stop dying every day.

Death toll looks to be in between Heart Disease and Cancer in NY. Still don’t get the hype and fear.

100s and thousand die every day
From a host of things
Death never takes a holiday
I suggest learning to deal with it

Despite what the article says - would think not.
I'm making the assumption that if it mutated there from the original strain - logic would dictate that is also going to mute here on its own accord - travel ban or not.

Or am I incorrect in my assumption?

Yes it mutates on its own. However chances are infinitesimally small that the same mutation would occur here. I read the other day that there are already thousands of mutated strains out there, which is par for the course for a highly infectious virus.

The reason for the travel band against the UK is that the specific mutation is more contagious than all the other strains

Knew the new mutation was more contagious (about 70% more from what I'm reading. If I get you correctly - a mutation in area doesn't necessarily mean it will mutate in the same way elsewhere?

We seem to be a peaking here on the Shore...

.

Correct, that how they track down where something came from. Remember back in the spring when they were talking about an strain that originated in Europe? That was traced based on a mutation

As of today no visitors allowed for any patient at the hospital i work at. Rough time to be a patient.

Makes no sense

that a group of doctors and nurses can go out , hang out , eat drink and be merry ( and yes even charter a boat run around maskless sharing food and drink )
Then go into work at a hospital
But relatives can’t visit their loved ones

staff of all kinda comes and goes daily and night but loved ones are locked out

Just more hysterical stupidity

That’s how it starts. Then come the elective surgery cuts.

Been some year...

Nantucketers are turning on each other

***For nearly four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, more than 70 people a day had showed up at the Nantucket Cottage Community Hospital for testing. And each day, island officials reported dozens of new positive cases. For an island with a current year-round population of around 18,000, those slight upticks had the potential to overwhelm the hospital and its staff. During the week of Dec. 14, Nantucket reached a test positivity rate of 13.1 percent—one of the highest in the country. At points over the last few weeks, doctors at the hospital, fearing their COVID-19 patients may take a turn for the worse, transferred several individuals to Boston hospitals via helicopter.

It wasn’t just the rising infection rate that had health-care workers and officials on the island on edge. Nantucket is a small community known as an escape for the wealthy during the summer months. But many of those who own summer homes chose to stay on the island throughout the pandemic, joining the 11,000 people who live there year-round. And some who had little to no previous connection to Nantucket moved into rentals and apartments there to flee the East Coast cities where COVID-19 was spreading rapidly. That uptick in residents meant more people shopping at the supermarket and more people showing up at bars, coffee shops, and churches. One full-time islander, a local bartender, told The Daily Beast she thought the full-time population had swelled by “maybe 5,000.”

The influx alarmed portions of the island population, primarily older individuals who were anxious about catching the virus in a community with limited medical resources. Instead of unifying the community, however, some residents of Nantucket seemed to turn on one another.

On one of the island’s local Facebook pages, residents after the Thanksgiving holiday began to blame their neighbors for contributing to the community spread, calling out nonbelievers. In a recent post about the rising number of cases on Nantucket, one user said the numbers were “inflated.”

“The scheme is for more positive tests for more federal money,” the person said. Another user urged people to “Keep more than” six feet from one specific individual. People even called out others for appearing maskless in public spaces and demanded officials penalize local businesses whose employees did not follow public health guidelines.

I used to work in a pharmacy as a tech and you can see the overuse of antibiotics every day. People with a cold would come in for them all the time. They only treat certain infections caused by bacteria. They do not work on Viruses.

Not really if you had any clue. The difference is that I am ALWAYS wearing protective gear like masks and face shields to protect me and the patients. I wear street clothes to work change at work then change back to street clothes to go home and once home take them off and shower.

So not hysterical stupidity...if you actually had a clue.

That’s how it starts. Then come the elective surgery cuts.

Not sure but I think those stopped already. Again not too sure.

Certain areas have. It’s amazing what is considered elective surgeries. Biopsy and port placements are considered elective in certain patients. Sad.
