This has gone berserk in a matter of days thanks to the media. Someone had a thread this weekend about how the reporters seem almost happy when they're doing a story. It nuts!!! |

She seemed pretty concerned that they were seeing the real deal en masse. Who knows though. I guess we will all know soon enough. |

Greg Abbott activates Texas National Guard in response to COVID-19 coronavirus I don’t work at a hospital but in a nursing home in the DFW area. We are in lockdown right now. No visitors are allowed in at all. Some one is posted at the door at all times and each worker who comes in is screened. The residents are no longer allowed to eat in the dining room, they have to eat in their rooms. We have no N95 masks only the surgical masks. I worry about when our supplies start getting low and the trucks stop delivering. So far nobody is sick in our facility and I pray it stays that way. Truth is though if the virus does infect the facility it will be because one of the workers brought it in and they showed no symptoms. |

Greg Abbott activates Texas National Guard in response to COVID-19 coronavirus I have a friend who is a nurse at the above hospitals. Was just updated by her this morning. Quoting: PhobiaDHS 1. Baylor Dallas is running out of beds rapidly at the moment. 2. Both locations are out of masks and some other PPE and staff are now forced to share some reusable masks when with patients. (Not ideal at all...) 3. Hard decisions are being made at this moment as to which patients are getting a ventilator and who is left to fend for themselves. 4. They are not testing people that don't meet a very rigid definition of the illness. 5. My friend says a lot of staff have been exposed to active cases without proper precautions or protections in place. She is no longer going back home for the time being because she doesn't want to harm her family. Curious if anyone else has any additional information from these or other area hospitals or can corroborate this info. I trust her to a point but don't know her terribly well. If she is telling the truth, it means the scope of this thing in DFW is being massively downplayed and covered up. Which just falls in line with everywhere else I guess. Show us video or I wont beleive. This is 2020 not 1918. Even then there were pictures. |

Greg Abbott activates Texas National Guard in response to COVID-19 coronavirus Just before cases started rising in the US (late january) he abruptly quit. He will not be specific on why he quit either. I wanted to post this before but didnt want to prematurely inflict panic of any kind on any one. This person was VERY good at what they did, was well known in all of the hospitals in a particular zone in dallas, which includes Baylor Dallas. And now they are already run out of masks before the pandemic hits high levels in dallas.  |

Greg Abbott activates Texas National Guard in response to COVID-19 coronavirus Had an early dr appt at infectious disease. They are on lockdown. Freaked me out. Called me yesterday to tell me to wait in car until my appt time. To approach door and wait to be allowed in. Nurse came to door and unlocked it - let me in - locked behind. Walked straight Through lobby and into room No copay. No paperwork. No temp or blood pressure. Dr in room which had been rearranged. Everyone had masks on. Showed them my wound. No one touched me. I was there for all of two minutes. They sent a new prescrip to pharmacy. I know my bloodwork is all screwed up and the results of the wound swab came back - not good. I just hope they are treating all patients same at. Freaked me out. This is spring Texas. Have a nice day = GFY. GFY = Go Fuck Yourself. If this offends you then have a nice day. |

I have had very good success with that in the past. |
