Thanks for all you do.. y'all are heros
I wouldn’t consider myself a hero by any stretch, but it does feel good to hear people are backing us and thankful for our hard work. It has been one heck of a long battle that never seems to end. We were just licking our wounds from the third wave and getting simi back to normal and now here we go again with the Delta variant which we don’t know how well our PPE will stand up to it. I’m not sure about the particle size of this variant.

I wear a fresh air Helmet with HEPA Filter (best HEPA filter in the world) with a N95 under it and my safety glasses. I sit in a room by myself between rounds and wipe everything down. I only take off my mask if nobody has been in a 20’ radius within 15-20 minutes. I’ve tested negative twice since Delta started and I’ve had at least 40-50 positive patients so far. So I’m hoping the particle size is the same as the first OG variants.

I gotta tell you I’m scared AF every time I have a new patient that is coughing like crazy and I have equipment like a high flow nasal cannula or Bipap that is dumping in the room. We typically have negative pressure rooms going or we scrub the air in the rooms, but not always because the nurses forget to turn the on or the patients complain they can’t hear. We’re all fatigued at this point but I don’t cut corners. Other people do and have gotten away with it, but with this variant I think those people will end up positive.

And Lambda is right behind Delta...

My TV is on channel real life ER and ICU with intubated patients who are dying weekly… proned on Roto beds, with quad strength Flolan running along with Dexamethasone, Levo, and several other aggressive drugs and therapies. ECMO can’t even save most long haulers.

If you caught it and went down hill (a lot do)…and you go to a hospital, you’ll be lucky to get your treatments on time if at all at some of these facilities. Just trying to warn you because I have friends all over the area. Not really wanting to get into a big debate. Don’t have time for that. Just trying to warn my fellow reefers.

If you haven’t already had it or your not fully vaccinated It’s a lot easier to wear a N95 and try to mitigate the risk than to argue who’s right and wrong. Avoid direct contact with people.
Yup I told the family we back to square one and basically gonna qt ourselves for a little while til we see what happens in the next month or so. I been masked, haven't stopped. Not gonna argue the facts. Drs wear for a reason. Surely they must work.

Try hydroxiqloriquin instead. The government has outlawed its use in the fight of this virus but ironically every doctor I’ve read about using it, have a 100% survival rate.

Don’t judge me. Don’t hate on me. Take the time to research it and you will see it has a 100% survival rate even in the most extreme conditions so long as treatment is started in the early stages of contraction.

This comment is absolutely not meant to be hateful. I’m simply trying to share knowledge.

by the way, you can make hydroxiqloriquin at home by boiling lemon, orange and grapefruit peels in boiling low simmer water for 5 hours. Drink 1 cup of this juice per day as preventive measure. 1/2 gallon per day if infected with the China virus to fight the virus.

When researching this info use search engine “duck duck go” as it is not compromised by a left leaning agenda.
I got a prescription of name brand plaquenil... also have tons of malaria meds from breeding clowns.

Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and not judge. I pray to my lord and savior daily asking for an end to this evil ailment (as well as cancer). I thank you for what you do and I greatly respect your career choice. I’m sorry it appears that my opinion is negative. That by no way is my intent. I just wish the media would be more honest and better attempt to help the masses as opposed to continually promote a specific agenda.

Again, thank you for what you do.
I’m not worried about that man. I forgive.

Best thing you can do is pray. Even with All these treatments you can easily still die. I take 2,000-4,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. Still take Zinc even though it shows little benefit. Still take Vitamin C.

I caught Covid back in July of 2020. Almost got intubated. I prayed to Jesus daily and begin to recover. Spent 7 days in ICU. Almost needed rehab when I left. The first OG variant was no joke. It killed so many people and almost got me.

I think the Delta is definitely more contagious, but maybe slightly less deadly.

I agree with you though, too many people asleep in American watching the fake MSM.

I watch Facts Matter on YouTube and a few others and that’s about it now. I love this Great Country, Hate BLM, Bullying Big Tech Companies, Schools teaching CRT, Don’t agree with Open Borders, Speech Suppression, and I love Capitalism and that tells you a lot about who I am. Love me or hate me. 😉 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Sorry to hear that man. Pray for him! I think sometimes God is waiting on people to cry out. I’ve seen too many things in the hospital.

IMO there’s two scenarios.

1. It escaped for that lab in Wuhan.
2. They let it loose for political gain and to stuff their pockets full of taxpayer money.

I’d love to know the real truth one day. I hope this thing begins to unravel.
We ain't fighting with guns. Proxy wars now.

There is nothing stronger then the power of prayer. Drs see miracles all the time.
I’ve literally seen it myself. I’ve had some awesome/crazy things happen over the years. I’ll tell you about a crazy one. Two yrs ago just before Covid I had a very disturbed lady who was in a panic. She was looking around the room like a rabid dog. Something came over me and I felt a small voice in my heart that said pray with her. I only pray in the name of Jesus. 25,000 manuscripts alone is enough evidence for that.

So there was another lady in the room sitting buy the window quietly with pinkish colored hair and loads of crazy looking tattoos. Normally I do worry about family members, because people get offended and as we all know this is a diverse city. This time I didn’t care. I felt a strong peace about it. As I begin to pray… the first time I said “Jesus” the lady by the window begin to choke violently. So violently in fact I almost got worried until I realized I was most likely kneeling beside a woman that was demon possessed. I then begin to turn up the fire and started to rebuke any generational curses and any demonic activity in the room. This lady went absolutely nuts for 3 minutes and I kept praying hard. She finally stopped and when I finished I said are you ok and she nodded yes and stayed quiet. The other lady looked like she was in complete peace like God had physically touched her. I left the room feeling pretty darn good. I think God chased a couple demons out of there. Maybe several. I don’t know.

What I do know.. it was a lot like this:

Go to 0:40 if you don’t want to wait. Jesus is real!

I’m vaccinated but will not do it again until more research is done…and who knows about the side effects in the next 5-10 years.

now if you are a government employee or work at a hospital setting you don’t have a choice but to take it.

don’t let these looney toons convince you to take the vaccine.

I got the vaccine (diabetes + some respiratory issues so reward outweighed the risk) but yeah I’m concerned about long term effects from mRNA based vaccine and that is why my wife won’t take it.
Some people should but others shouldn't, they're becoming the super spreaders.

I think the vaccines are working, but we’re having several breakthrough cases. They were overhyped and don’t work as well as they initially said. I just don’t trust the vaccines because of their mad push to get “shots in arms.”

A lot of younger people have some intense reactions and I know for sure over 6,000 deaths and those are just the numbers published the last time I checked. Who knows what the real numbers are.? They were covering up the side affects and acting like it’s completely safe.

I will say this…basically every senior citizen that I know has not had any side effects whatsoever. They don’t develop a big immune response and therefore have a easy time taking the vaccine.

But for the record I haven’t even seen one person who has come in for a vaccine side effect. Not saying that there aren’t any but if there are the’re calling it something different to cover it up.

So how’s your fish tank coming along? I’d love to hear more about it.
Haha. It’s sitting in storage safe and sound with the stand. All my gear is in the house between two closets. Calcium Reactor still in box and unopened. Radion Gen 5’s still in box. Deltec 600i Skimmer on standby. GHL 2.1 SA locked and loaded. Rock still in brutes with circulation, heat, live sand since 12/31/20. That’s 6 months 27 days. Haha. I think the only thing I haven’t bought is Powerheads and I need a second 20# CO2 cylinder.

I’m gonna let Covid-19 finish up and likely wait on the cool fall weather before I set it up. In the meantime I have some nice frags in the backyard. :)
