COVID Thread 2: Operation Ludicrous Speed ! (Super Political!!!)

A nurse at a strained El Paso hospital says the sickest COVID-19 patients are put in a doctor-less room called 'the pit' where they are given 3 chances to be revived before workers let them die

In the video, Rivers said the hospital's sickest COVID-19 patients were put in a "pit" that doctors didn't enter for fear of exposing themselves to the virus.
"My first day at orientation, I was told that whatever patients go into the pit, they only come out in a body bag," she said, adding that the assignment in El Paso had been her worst of the pandemic.
The hospital told KFOX 14 it "cannot fully verify the events expressed" in Rivers' video but acknowledged the "difficult, physical and emotional toll" the pandemic had taken on health workers.

Yep. So it has started already. Within a couple of months Republicans will be posting on social media that Biden caused the coronavirus outbreak, that all the problems resulting from it are the fault of the Democrats, and that they are responsible for all of the deaths since the pandemic started. It will be as if Trump, and his administration's disastrous response to the pandemic, never happened. Damn LibDems!
 
Local Republican party posts a picture of the constitution with the caption "signed permission slip to enjoy Thanksgiving with your family." This is in a NC red critical county.
 
but it's not like we test the birds, right? If we tested for more bird deaths I'm sure we'd find alot more.

Since the 2003 H5N1 outbreak, there have been 455 confirmed human deaths due to the bird flu, with the vast majority of those occurring from 2004 to 2015. H5N1 has a confirmed case mortality rate of over 50%.

This doesn’t even include attacks on humans by African crowned eagles, ostriches, or cassowaries, people who are killed by malicious bird strikes to airplanes or cars, or cases where sea gulls have carried the children away with the Cheeze-its, not to mention deaths caused by Lammergeiers mistaking one’s head for a rock and dropping a tortoise on it to crack its shell.

I think you have some explaining to do.

I mean I didn't die but I definitely got attacked by an owl on the trails at the Whitewater Center a few years ago
