    Information cannot be disclosed due to patient privacy. There's definitely way more cases in Florida than is being reported, but that's obvious. 19 nursing homes suspected but even if they did have it they wouldn't tell us which ones.

    Even when I was just an EMT, the docs would let me stitch people up, and perform cricothyroidotomy's as long as it was under their supervision. All EMT's work under the directive of a medical director for whatever agency they work for so maybe we can work that way. Who knows. I can definitely...

    My thoughts exactly. The dude I talked to didnt seem like he was taking this seriously or willing to help me out. It was very monotone straight to the point.

    Just out of curiosity and as a just in case measure, I called the Florida Department of Health certification office to see if they made any exceptions to reinstate expired EMT licenses, but so far nothing and they say they dont forsee it. I think he said it only goes back a couple months for...

    If you aren't following him already, Dr. Campbell has been doing a great job with daily objective analysis. Within the first minute or so he starts reading a letter from an Italian nurse I recommend you listen to. The rest is just a good picture of where were at, at the moment.

    So, I've been wondering about the constitutionality of the possibility of lockdowns and the forceful closure of businesses and the like. I ran across this article on the googles that gives us a pretty good idea. Apparently the power doesn't lie with the federal government, but the states. So if...

Ill see how things go in the next few months. Theyll need someone to go get groceries and stuff at some point, and...

    Yeah, in the time i typed that to now I had another long conversation with my grandmother. It would be really reckless of me to work in the hospital and think I wouldn't bring the virus home. But god damn, Its like its calling me to go help out you know. I also just texted the ER director of one...

    I'm trying to weigh my options right now. I have the opportunity to work at the hospital again, but I'm really questioning if I should considering my family is all over 70. The likelihood of me bringing it home and spreading to them would be much much higher if im going to work at the hospital...
