Easter Bunny Bust Corona

Donald J. Trump is playing the part of Dracula, let’s infect everyone with coronavirus, wipe out majority of the Americans and let me stay as King Trump to rule over the empty streets of Divided States. /Trump’s hateful rhetoric of ‘hoaxes, fake news, witch hunts’ still haunt Americans which have made America unsafe, unhealthy, weak and vulnerable. /Americans face the farce of Trump’s lies every day and hope this idiocy of a presidency ends soon./ Might as well shut down the White House, quarantine Trump and Trumpian lunatics in there and let US governors run the government who are doing their duty to save American lives./ Trump wishing to pack churches with worshippers on Easter Sunday, go raring and open all businesses. ‘It is a beautiful day’ says Trump./ Mr. Rogers said the same thing for years, but he proved it true by his gentle disposition of saying and acting beautifully, but Trump makes it ugly by his bigotry and hypocrisy, promoting falsehood. /Would he dare attend Easter Service in a church with large congregation, shaking hands with kids and pastor?/ If he has the courage to do it, his base might follow his lead, defying the threat and challenge of coronavirus./ Economy is dear to Trump’s heart, avoid the topic of procuring face masks, ventilators or helping America’s poor and vulnerable. /Facts faded before Trump’s ignorance of everything ‘fantastic, doing great, light at end of tunnel?/’ Trump stands at the mouth of the tunnel of hypocrisy, where there is no light but darkness. Without healthy Americans, there will be no healthy economy./ Easter Bunny President is going to wipe out entire community of Evangelicals if he encourages people to fill up the churches. /Such tragic course similar to the one in Malaysia where Muslims gathered for prayers, defying danger, embracing faith and three hundred and more were infected with coronavirus./‘We have got to go back to work’ Trump is right he has to get back to work after three plus years of sabbatical./ Incompetent, corrupt, Trumpian, dysfunctional White House has brought Americans to the brink of death with ‘hoaxes’ and Trump still continues on this disastrous route./ HuffPost March 25, 2020/ Dear Mr. President,/ I am an emergency medicine resident physician in one of the biggest hospital systems in New York City, the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. /In the past several weeks, I have taken care of countless patients with COVID-19 ― some who didn’t seem so sick and some blue in the face and gasping for air 70 times a minute./ I have put my face inches from theirs and inserted breathing tubes into their trachea, putting myself and everyone else in the room at exponentially higher risk of contracting this disease./ As I’ve sat in a room full of coughing patients for 60 hours a week, I have worried about my own safety now and in the coming months as this pandemic gets worse and our completely inadequate supply of personal protective equipment rapidly disappears. /There is a major shortage of face masks, along with other supplies, across the country and without them, it can be next to impossible to keep health care workers safe and working to support the increasing number of patients who are arriving at our hospital and clinic doors./ I have sent some not-so-sick patients home and I have seen some patients die right in front of my eyes./ I have spoken on the phone to the sobbing mother of a young man admitted to the intensive care unit, and told her, “No, you are not allowed to enter the hospital to see your critically ill son because we are not letting family members into the hospital during this pandemic./” To say that I have experienced countless heartbreaking moments over the past several weeks would be an understatement./ In the next couple of days or weeks, we will run out of hospital beds and ventilators./ The number of critically ill COVID-19 patients who come to my hospital seems to double every day. If things continue this way, I will soon be forced to make decisions about who deserves a shot at life and who I will allow to die, and that is an unthinkable thing to have to consider, much less do./ Tell me ― when there is only one ventilator available, should it go to the young nurse or the elderly woman with multiple comorbidities who has an advanced directive that says “do not intubate/do not resuscitate”? /How about the single mother of three?/ Or the deeply respected emergency medicine attending doctor I worked with last week?/How about the middle-aged man with some medical comorbidities and corny jokes who reminds me of my father ― or is my father?/ Or maybe the person in prison for rape? /How about the person of color in jail for marijuana possession?/How about a beloved and wealthy celebrity? /How about the homeless person with alcohol use disorder who spits on my fellow medical professionals and me when we try to help?/ How about the homeless person who lives on my street corner and smiles at me every day and says “God bless you”?/ It’s not so easy choose, is it?/ If things continue this way, I will soon be forced to make decisions about who deserves a shot at life and who I will allow to die and that is an unthinkable thing to have to consider, much less do./ This past week, between 12-hour shifts working in the emergency department and the newly created COVID respiratory unit, I have done everything I can think of to stop that nightmare scenario from arriving. /I have posted on social media begging my friends and family to stay home. /I have signed countless petitions and contacted my local government pleading for more personal protective equipment and ventilators. /If I learn of other things I can do, I will do those, too./ My governor, Andrew Cuomo, has tirelessly worked to obtain more personal protective equipment and ventilators./He has begged you to nationalize the effort to acquire medical supplies and you have denied him. /He’s begged for citizens to stay home and, while some are listening, many are not and if they don’t, it will be disastrous./But there’s only so much the governor ― or any of us ― can do alone. /At this point, there may be only so much we can do together. But we must try. / On Tuesday you told Fox News you would “ love to have the country opened up and raring to go by Easter./” You said you chose Easter because, “you will have packed churches all over our country, I think it would be a beautiful time and it is just about the timeline that I think is right./” The thought of this makes me nauseous. /If we do that, exponentially more people will get this disease, our hospital system will not have the capacity to handle it, and health care professionals like me will have to let countless people die while continuing to put our own lives ― and possibly the lives of the people we love ― at risk./ When we run out of ventilators ― and we will if we lift the social distancing restrictions that are in place and this pandemic continues to spread as it already has ― I will not be ready to make these decisions about who deserves to live and who deserves to die./When those moments come, I do not know how I will be able to sleep at night. /Will you? Now is not the time to let our guards down. You have the power to be remembered as someone who did the right thing./ I beg you to help me and other health care workers save countless lives ― possibly including our own ― so that we as a nation don’t have to suffer the unthinkable devastation looming on the horizon. /I beg you to take this pandemic more seriously and I am begging you to do it now./ Sincerely,/ Rachel Sobolev, MD/ Rachel Sobolev is a second year emergency medicine resident in New York City./ She feels passionately about being right at the intersection of health care and current events, and providing high quality health care to all types of people regardless of their background./ Americans need to demand that disaster-in-chief Trump step down, who is intent on wiping out half the population of America with pincers of his stupidity and ignorance./ Foxian, Trumpian, Republican zealots are still enabling him to slaughter millions of Americans with his missiles of zeal and insanity. This is genocide in its primitive form of barbarity./ God Save America, wishing health to whole world/ World has known many idiots before/But not as stupid as Trump/Invested with armor of lie-galore/Transforming America into pandemic-riddled slum/
