Wasting good meat like that is fucking sacrilege. Terrible idea.
Had the pleasure of visiting someone in the ER today at south Austin. Let me first say that healthcare workers right now think they’re king of the fucking castle and they are the authority. I am a pretty agreeable person, but what I encountered today was fucking ugly. They OWN you in there.
Secondly, it was busy but it wasn’t anywhere near what the news is reporting. The nurses aren’t moving too fast and they aren’t unenergetic. Quite the opposite actually. They seem to be having a blast bossing people around. From the time i stepped in the door it took me leas than 5 minutes to sign in and be seated.
Finally and most importantly. I listened to check-in after check-in and there were a lot of young people, mostly Hispanic males (fits the demographics in the area) coming in with these exact quotes:
“I have a bit if a sore throat”
or “I'm feeling a little light headed”
and “my chest kinda hurts a little.”
THESE PEOPLE ARE IN THE FUCKING EMERGENCY ROOM FOR BASIC ASS SYMPTOMS.
Where is the public announcement to stay home unless you’re pretty fucked up? Why don't they advise people to take zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, gargle with mouthwash twice a day and maybe eat some fucking delicious horsey paste? Instead all you hear from the media is “HOSPITALS ARE OVERWHELMED” nonsense. It’s a bunch of kids coming in to try and test positive for covid so they can get a paid vacation. These people don’t need to be in The fucking hospital, they need to be told to stop being a pussy and go home.
