Mourn Dead Essential Workers on Labor Day& Blame President

August 30, 2020

3000 Essential Workers Have Died on Front Line Worldwide

Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. Instead, we mourn front line workers’ unnecessary deaths. Essential health care workers who have died worldwide of COVID -19 are thought by Amnesty International to be about 3000 and counting.

 More than a month ago, Kaiser Health News put the US total at almost 600. The report said, “The overall figure is likely to be a significant underestimate due to under-reporting, while accurate comparisons across countries are difficult due to differences in counting.”

US Essential Worker Left Unprotected By PPE

“Health and essential workers have played an extraordinary role in this pandemic. But those so dedicated workers are often left unprotected by governments and systems that have failed to supply them with enough personal protective equipment (PPE), supplies, and resources to do their jobs.”( trash bags they got from FEMA, as you can see)

In April alone, there were an estimated 27 COVID-19-related health worker deaths in the USA, 106 in the UK, and 180 in Russia, with tens of thousands of infections. The actual numbers are probably much higher.

Although COVID Take it’s the biggest toll on the elderly, nurses, nursing students, and nurses aides at hard-hit nursing homes caring for the elderly, die young of COVID. 

I am a social worker and have worked on the social work/nurse team, with nurses & nurses aides for 40 years, so this really matters to me as it should to all of us.

Trump Failed to Use Defence Production ACT to Make PPE

According to Kaiser this month it was over 900 and counting in the US. And as is so often said- it did not have to be this way. If Trump had used the  Defence Production Act to get PPE made the PPE and distributed to essential workers, they would not have died. As cases mount in the south and the west where I live, lifesaving PPE- N-95 masks, gloves, gowns are not adequate although Trump keeps giving more dubious information that every worker had what they needed. Poor government preparation or actions, government missteps, and overburdened health care created this travesty

Mourn Essential Workers on Labor Day

So on labor day offer a thank you, a prayer,  light a candle, create art  -burn a stick of sage as the American Indians do -all in their memory – a ritual of mourning for these essential workers who did not have to die because the richest nation in the world could not give them simple protection.

Contact Your Legislator After Labor Day

Then contact your local legislator about the lack of PPE that the government is not sending to save another nurse, bus driver, care providers, doctor, policeman, social worker, firefighter who offered themselves up for us and died for our Presidents’ sins.

130 million Dead COVID- Trump will not require the #1 deterrent -Masks

July 9, 2020

Number 1 Prevention of COVID -19  Wearing A Mask

The Coronavirus yesterday reached the 3 million mark in mark in cases  The number one preventative step we could have taken is to wear masks 

 

Citing Lone Ranger-TRUMP Refuses National Order For Masks

Yet, President Trump refuses to issue a federal order to wear masks and leaves it up to the states. In Texas, where the coronavirus rampages, the  Republican governor has also refused to issue a state order to wear masks. Like ordering the US to wear masks, has something to do with his looks, Trump said a mask makes him look like the Lone Ranger. The Lone Star state topped over 1000 cases 5 days in a row

 

33 Million Would Not Be Dead if Masks Ordered in  October

A new study says wearing masks would have saved 33 million lives since last October. Yet there are still no federal mask requirements.

Lack of President’s National Response Leading to New Depression- Says World Bank

This lack of federal response, like no federal order to wear masks, is not only killing huge swaths of the world population but has torpedoed our economy. President Trump wants to reboot the economy yet by not using federal controls, according to the World Bank the President is moving us to a recession and the cusp of depression worldwide.

Less than half the States Require Masks

Only 20 states require masks as Trump, instead of requiring masks, has left it up to the states. He relented recently, narcissistically,  saying he thought he looked good- like the lone ranger in a mask but ordered no federal requirement. 

Dr. Anthony Fauci predicts a few days ago that the huge COVID spread could leave 100 million a day dying. Masks are our # 1 deterrent again this  slaughter by the omission of using federal powers

33 States Now in Crisis Surge of Virus Sunbelt Devastated

A total of 33 states now have a coronavirus surge with 7 states in the southwest at a crisis level.

Without required preventative steps from the Trump government and the wildfire surge immolating ¾ of our states, COVID 19 is not going away, in fact, may last well into 2021

Mixed -Messaging by President, States, Counties Gives Families no Path to Virus Safety

The problem is made more confusing by the administration’s mixed messaging with different states, cities, counties telling residents what to do to be safe. Families have no idea which way to turn to keep themselves and the most vulnerable senior family members safe.
