My third day working the covid unit in my long term care facility. I'm from a rural community that doesn't believe in masks and when our state court said our governor could not use her executive orders for public health people celebrated by throwing their masks away ????
These people have become my family and now I have to watch as this virus spreads through this building hoping they all make it out alive!
Send good vibes and cute cats!
******Front page is that you?*****
Omg. I've been on imgur for YEARS and never dreamed I would be on the front page! Thank you everybody! Remember to wear your masks and be kind to each other!

Good news is if they all drop due to covid, you can relax the ppe

You look hot! I would love to peel that suit from your overworked and sweaty body at the end of your shift. I would give you the best hot

I think your title should be "Fuck all the morons who make science political."

Thank you for your hard work OP. Detroiter here, let me know if you're around, drinks on me.

Deal!
MikeyCrabtree
God damn, do I feel your pain. I'm working in a LTC facility that has been wracked with it for over a month. Be safe & God bless. (1)
MikeyCrabtree
Here's praying that you can stay positive and keep testing negative. I can tell you from personal experience that COVID sucks.
LittleLatinBoyInDrag
Healthcare in red states is in a bad place right now. My K95 masks are so old I’ll probably need to go get them vaccinated soon.
Ricearoni9000
As someone working in AL, I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Stay strong and keep rocking the white suit. You are awesome!
GarryrGarry
Not a fan a masks but god is it really that hard for people just to wear them... ?
Canofminus
It'd be great if at this point you could ditch your bedside manors and tell ppl straight up they are killing their elderly relatives.
rooniemai
Well I've never been one to hold back. Thing is people around here will shoot you for listening to science
turkeyfeathergal
Thank you for all you do OP, we appreciate you
DaPreacher
White really suits you well! Hang in there! Love from Canada. :)
esclavamente
U don't know how much it means to us down here when we feel that maple syrup pour down. I smile every time a Canadian sends ANY OF US love.
DaPreacher
Eh, we'll continue to send love your way. Seems like you guys are up for a bumpy ride in the next few weeks/months. ❤️
Jackospade
How much was the suit?
rooniemai
I have no idea. I can say my facility has good PPE
Filanwizard
This would have been different without trump. The Antimask crowd would still exist but would lack the highest office signal boosting them.
rockhammer
This is a bathroom selfie; perhaps the worst type of selfie of them all
rooniemai
At least I have my pants on? Maybe.
OceanTraffic
When did people become so stupid? Has it always been this way? Do I only know about this because of our advancements in technology?
rooniemai
I ask myself that daily....

Michigan? This state has been an embarrassment as of late.
balboa3ny
I work in a nursing home in a similar rural town outside of Charlotte. Hit our building a month ago and 23 dead. Anywhere in town, NO MASKS
rooniemai
That is so sad! I hope it doesn't happen here!
balboa3ny
Me neither ?? I just people would wake the fuck up and care
cakeyay
Motheroffrankie
Yes! Those suits are hot as fuck! We had them in July and August up here
rooniemai
Right now it isn't bad.We are fortunate but we house 80 people so it could get bad ? hospitals near us are full so we are keeping them here
lamblichus
Your PPE is way better than mine.
eileenuknow1
That’s what I was thinking. Ours are just yellow gowns, goggles, and masks. Most gowns don’t fit very well. We have whole units positive.
lamblichus
Most stress most of us in nursing have ever experienced. I seriously don’t even know anymore if any of this will ever end. My caring hurts
eileenuknow1
I don’t think it will end. It will be like H1N1. Wait for a vaccine. I worry for our fellow caregivers. Never give up, there is always hope
lamblichus
Thank you for reaching out. Keep up your work. Tell someone a random joke sometimes. We all laugh to keep from crying. ❤️

Which state so I know not to go there?

Nobody is enforcing the rules, so they are more like guidelines.

Michigan, but don't judge us all. You can still come to Detroit, it's safe. Wait. What?
AllisDashChalmersWasAnInsideJob
Rural Ohio here, and we are facing the same problem. Politicizing masks really hurt these deep red areas
DingleBerryJane
Stay clear of menomonie, Wisconsin too
skidgod80
I assumed it was Wisconsin. Cheers from New Richmond.
Hypnoticcow
More like all of Wisconsin right now.
rowanmc
All of them, right now...
whatisthisimgurforants
Utah made a state wide mask mandate in the last week
rowanmc
Cases be spiking everywhere, though. Avoid all the states tbh. Antarctica still seems okay.
filben7
There was a handy color coded map recently established. Google "presidential election map 2020".
shitheadtookmyname
Nah, Texas went Trump but our governor has issued mask orders that were effective. He just lifted it too early
TurangaLeelaIsMyMom
What do you mean lifted? We still have it...
djheadshot
zing.
NasTees
I'm going to guess it's michigan, which actually wound up blue in the election
rooniemai
Winner winner!
frontyardninja
Meh. I'm in Iowa but my county was blue (1 of 6 out of 99). I mean steer clear bc our governor still won't issue a mask mandate and... Iowa.
Cyberpope67
A most helopful map these pst few days. I see Trump nly got 5% of thrr votes in DC. . . BWAHAHAA http://www.loser.com
alecdshope
Not a great indicator. I live in a blue state where most of the land mass is covered by red counties.

Nevada?

California. Close.

Thats how I feel living in suburban MN
grimCoordinator
Do you know how little that narrows it down? Lmao
alecdshope
Kind of my point, though. I live in California, but could be describing New York or Oregon.
grimCoordinator
True.
rooniemai
Michigan. I drive by hundreds of trump flags on my way to work. My neighbor vinyl wrapped his car in trump. Can't believe we flipped blue!?
ChiliBeef
Wow. The stupidity of some people take know no bounds.
Kitakita
I wonder if all the trumpers in denial dying has something to do with that
alafolie
Hi! Another Michigander here, keep up the good work. I'm ashamed of our fellow Michiganders and how selfish they can be.
theTummy
My rural county in the middle of the state is getting slammed right now. Thanks for doing what you do!
SomethingSmells
Bay City/Saginaw Michigander myself, wanting to say thank you for what you do. You’re not alone.
Batonrougeisnotsobad
Vinyl-wrapped her car. Laaaaawd.
twisster76
So sorry from the blue corner of the state. I just came home from working in Petoskey. So many Trumpsters once I left Oakland county.

I knew it was Michigan before I saw your comment. You're not alone! Tragic that ppl care so little for others. I laugh @ chin diapers.
mybunsarestale
I was gonna guess SD given how Noem has been so vehemently anti mask.
Tracendo
Canton here. Fuck Trump. Where are you?
FrequentGamer
Lansing here. I feel your pain.
FrequentGamer
Also your excitement that we flipped blue!
TurboMax5000
My folks are near Petoskey and I'm scared for them - the hospital is only very smol
caffeineshakes
Ann Arbor here. Yesterday Washtenaw county had the most amount of cases ever. Please stay safe and thank you for being a nurse.
eadano77
I live right across the border in Indiana and wish things were nearly as liberal here as they are in Michigan...
EatsThingsForMoney
I live in Mount Pleasant. Thank you for your help and fuck Trump!

Mount Pleasant is crusty. Fire up Chips! And bongs!

Resident of the Pinkie checking in. As a former first responder myself, stay safe and always remember to go home alive at the end of shift.

Ypsilanti here. Fuck the supreme Court. I voted against the justices that screwed Whitmer
xjsxjs
And we flipped the court!!!
weebabeseamus
Ope, appears I am late to the Mittener check in. Davison here. Fuck Trump. Fuck his kid for holding a rally here. Go team blue!

Detroit here. Thank you for all you do, fuck Trump.
DigitalGuru42
Thank you Detroiter!
TheFreemen

givewordsmeaning
Thank you for all you, fellow Michigander here. I can’t believe how stupid some of the people here are. I hope you stay safe!

From Michigan originally. Thank you for what you do, and I'm sorry that there are stupid people that live there.

Wisconsin here. Same. I can't believe how these people support him and believe him.
andyskeels
Yup. Driven past un-harvested farms with giant Trump banners. Smh.

IAmDuckHammer
I'm from SE Michigan (still live here). Been dealing with tRump supporters by TGI Friday's at M-59 and Schoenherr every Friday.
IAmDuckHammer
I blare Heavy Metal music with my windows down and flip them off. They never wear masks and never stay 6 feet (≈1.8 meters) apart.
IAmDuckHammer
Glad our state flipped blue. Stay safe out there.
FlattusMaximus
Grand Rapids dweller here. I feel for you and thank you for all you do! Our fellow citizens fucking suck
etherfish
Some of them. Fortunately, enough don't suck and chose to vote Trump out of office. Also, Hearthside dweller hete for the win.
xjsxjs
GR also. And our republican legislators just cancelled the week because “nothing important to do”
cathicklesquall
Waaaayyyy too many people hate on Whitmer. Oh no she cares about public health! Burn the witch!(/s) Trump supporters are facists.
FlattusMaximus
I support her covid actions, I think she did great
cathicklesquall
I live in Muskegon, thankfully I haven't seen any anti Whitmer signs around me. Plenty of trumptarded facists though.
xjsxjs
She did it to take the heat instead of pushing it to her MDHHS director. She got death threats instead of them. That’s leadership.
WeaponizedGuitar
I live just outside the Grand Rapids area, can confirm they suck
xjsxjs
Happy to see all the GR peeps! I’ll buy a round at Founders when this is all done.

Well. Most of them. Most of my family actually! There are a few good ones left! Stay safe!
