In reply to the discussion: Senator Bernard Sanders (I-VT) Should Resign from the Senate if he [View all]hlthe2b
(107,205 posts)I do not support the reckless suggestions made by at least one earlier--
that he should just "suit up" in PPE and be there. No, I, my sister and my colleagues need that PPE--as do the HCWs in Vermont. Next week when I return full time I will throttle anybody saying such things. There are now 8 doctors and three ER nurses at Emory-associated hospitals in the Atlanta area confirmed and hospitalized with COVID-19 (one on a ventilator) while my ER nurse sister and other colleagues continue to reuse PPE. As am I. I will gladly tell anyone who is suggesting diverting MORE to those whose risks make it absolutely untenable to be out, period--PPE or no, to go straight to hell.
There are CDC guidelines for a reason. I don't support Sanders, but neither do I want him to put himself or others at risk.
There should be emergency legislation passed to allow COngress a short term secure means of voting and participating offsite
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
