I get that you are passionate and think highly of you for it, but pull yourself out of the middle of this mess and take a more objective point of view.

A father cannot join his wife during the birth of their child........let that sink in a little. This is a perfect example of what most of us are pointing out this is far beyond reasonable. To tell one business they are a casualty and let another run rampant under the guys of essential. This deal has been BLOWN out of proportion and become political fodder. NO QUESTION at all. Yes its virulent and yes its dangerous but if I had a wife in labor the hospital said "um yeah you are unfortunately going to wait in the car" I'd lose my SH!T in a hurry.

PM me your address I will send you a handful of N95 masks.

Mark not the two that I know someone working at-
About the last three weeks or so they are testing each L&D patient that admits and have only had two positives-

Guess the entire World is lying to us. It's ok, carry on like it's nothing. For the people that have lost loved one's during this time I'm sorry. Yes some would have passed anyways. It's a fact of life, we die.
I would imagine most of you on here yelling it's all political haven't lost a loved one. Or had a wife have to deliver a baby all alone while you sat at home or out in your car. Yes some parts of the hospital are slowwwww. Med surg, cafeteria, etc. But the ICU's, CCU's Covid wards are over run. We've had to wear the same masks for up to 5 days. Cleaning supplies are so short we're stealing from other departments.
This is MY job and what I signed on for. I love helping people. I just hope it's not one of you I help next.

If you all worked at a hospital you're stance would change, believe me.

If you havent had a paycheck in 3 months your stance might change.

I know at Baylor downtown the laboring patient could have ONE visitor/support person-
And yes I heard many stories of understandable upset people-
But they did allow one, many times it was the mother in there-

I'm just like the Red Ranger I never been sick in the day of my life LOL

In relation to reopening, I'm not prepared to put my trust in total strangers to do the right things that will minimize my exposure risk. Therefore, I will continue my dull, lonely existence until an approved vaccine becomes available.

Thank God i'm in a position to be able too and I definitely understand and respect the positions of those who aren't.
