Well that's awesome I guess what I meant to say is out of the 22 million people who lost their livelihood this year, 1.4 million are advantaged and will see the fastest recovery in earning potential due to the fact that they are healthcare workers. Personally I wouldn't redistribute wealth even more toward that segment but my cruelty knows no bounds.

Do you know who else is working hazardously during this terrible time? Coal miners. Coal miners are essential because if we stop mining coal even for a minute we lose power to 40% of the country and millions will die. So now in addition to the regular black lung they also get bonus covid lung and I've not heard one single person not one single person in the world mention the men who are keeping all those ventilators powered and the rest of us just a tiny bit further from a paroxysm of unlit chaos. They sit packed 40 to a car on the way down the shaft and knees apart on the lateral transport and no one talks about hazard pay for these way more essential people because coal miners aren't whiny bitches on the gram.

It's like giving firefighters bonuses for fighting fires or cops extra pay for shooting black people. To all the people complaining, just do your job and die if you have to. Try to have a little dignity for fucks sake and be a little stoic about it, there's been people digging tunnels with their fingernails out of concentration camps before you, have a little respect and get some perspective about the amount of danger you're in and the sacrifice you're being asked to make.

There's plenty of things that irritate me about the bloody Limeys, but I always appreciated their ability to die with dignity.

Lune is a physical therapist. If he's as angry in his own head as he is on the forums he's probably losing his shit being around all of those nurses.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

If you get to hide in your home and receive unemployment, and if we’re collectively agreeing this virus is so dangerous that everyone needs to “shelter in place,” then people who are forced to have massive amounts of human contact deserve hazard pay. If you disagree, send your unemployment and $1200 check back to the US treasury. Otherwise, write your congressman asking for healthcare workers to receive hazard pay.

Coal is only essential because this country is too stupid to understand nuclear energy. It is absolutely not essential to any degree. And firefighters should get hazard pay for having to work right now. Again, if we face a societal “shelter in place,” anyone having to face the clearly dangerous thing requiring us to shelter in place should receive an incentive to do so, and they are certainly more deserving than McDonald’s burger flippers who are now making $900 a week in unemployment

I’ll send you what to write in your letter to congress. Hope this helps!

Well the ICU tends to be where the 20% of those "good" nurses end up.

Assuming you aren't a geriatric, chances are this virus isn't going to kill you or cause any lasting damage. But it's a roll of the die, and there's a non-negligible chance your body's immune system just happens to be incompatible with Covid-19 or you have some unknown underlying arrhythmia and you die. Nurses don't really put themselves at any more risk than dentists, hairstylists, transit workers, grocery store workers, etc. Hazard pay is for those really fucking dangerous professions like arctic crab fishermen where every year someone gets washed off the deck by a rogue wave and dies, or the dudes that fly helicopters up and down power lines poking them with poles.

Also if he's complaining about heavy lifting in the ICU he's doing it wrong. Just have him ask a PT to show him how to do transfers with proper mechanics.
