Of course! Surely the scoring kicks in when every life can’t be saved and choices have to be made.

In my experience, making any statements of this sort can very quickly impact your need for healthcare. Because nurses will fuck you up.

I take great pleasure in the thought of Lindsey Graham in a hospital bed desperately pressing the “nurse call” button over and over and over again with no effect.

I’m not proud of that pleasure, but I can live with myself.

Real talk; Don’t Fuck With Nurses is another cardinal rule of life, right up there with Don’t Fuck With People Who Handle Your Food…

General comment:

Suggesting that choosing who gets a ventilator according to racism, sexism, ableism, or sexual orientation is in any way a legitimate option to consider is not done here.

Because the very first bullet point in the Community Guidelines is:

Be cool. Don’t post or encourage insulting, bullying, victim-blaming, racist, sexist, violent, or homophobic remarks.

Sadly, given the latest research, branding it like this is probably the only way to get a significant portion of the population to listen to actual medical advice.

A senior wrote a letter to the editor in our local paper making this point*. The young are sacrificing for us now, so when this passes maybe try harder to save the planet for them.

It was a voice-of-reason respite among the bad news.

Not that anyone will listen.

*ETA: I think the letter to the editor’s tone was more constructive and less divisive than the linked “Above the Law” article, for what it’s worth.

We need to uninstall 2020 and then try reinstalling it.

The current version has a nasty virus.
