Dying patients deny the coronavirus exists — right up until death

[iceberg]

People believe the world is flat, too.

Why is what someone on the lunatic fringe "news"?

Because he's the president!

When did Trump die from Corona?

This isn't even political. Just stupid.

 

[JWBooth]

Simply because they were already near death from whatever else they were dying from is no reason to ridicule their dismissal of covid.

South Dakota nurse says many patients deny the coronavirus exists — right up until death

So whats your point, that there are stupid people? We know that. Millions of ignorant idiots voted for Biden. Of course there are stupid people.

This thread is dumb and pointless.

Everyone of those on their deathbed, believing Covid is a hoax, is a Trump supporter. 100% of them.

Many on their deathbed believed what they were told about social distancing and masks and lived within the guidelines. Were they lied to? How did they become infected if masks and social distancing work?

Story has been debunked.....oooops

How was it debunked? Cam you provide a link or more details? I’ve heard multiple interviews from nurses and doctors making similar claims. So what exactly has been debunked?

You wont believe it anyway.......so carry on, put your mask on and shiver in place

I probably won’t but that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in seeing your source of intel. Why not show it?

You just made my point, you want to believe your political indoctrination so believe

I don’t give a shit about political indoctrination. I just follow facts and logic. So go ahead and make your case. I’d like to see what info you’ve seen that makes you say this article was debunked. Why are you trying so hard to avoid diving in?

This isnt about facts its about a nurse pushing an ideology with a fake story...and you like it cause it fits your bias and confirms your hate

 

[Juicin]

Boy, oh boy. There sure is no shortage of delusion in this country these days. For the last few months I've felt like I was living in the Bizzaro world of Htrae where everything is the opposite of expectations.

America in 2020 is the land where foolishness is considered insightful, and sheer stupidity passes for common sense.

It's mind-numbing and mindbogglingly surreal to the point where it seems like one of those crazy dreams you wake up from, and the most disturbing thing about the dream is that it seemed sensible to you while you were asleep and dreaming it.

I can only draw one conclusion. The human race is doomed. No species could (or even should) survive with such lunacy all about. Let's give the animals back the planet. At least we can rely on them to act sensibly.


South Dakota nurse says many patients deny the coronavirus exists — right up until death

Jodi Doering, an emergency room nurse in South Dakota, was overwhelmed Saturday night. Her patients were dying of covid-19, yet were still in denial about the pandemic’s existence.
It’s like a “horror movie that never ends,” Doering wrote on Twitter.

Her anxiety and despair are shared by many health-care workers who are facing a dramatic surge in covid-19 patients. But some front-line workers, like Doering, also face the emotional toll of treating patients who, despite being severely ill, are reluctant to acknowledge that they have been infected with a virus that President Trump has said will simply disappear.
Doering said she has covid-19 patients who need 100-percent-oxygen breathing assistance and who will also swear they don’t have the illness that has ended the lives of nearly a quarter-million people in the United States since February.

“I think the hardest thing to watch is that people are still looking for something else and a magic answer and they do not want to believe covid is real,” Doering told CNN in an interview Monday.
“Their last dying words are, ‘This can’t be happening. It’s not real,’” Doering said, adding that some patients prefer to believe that they have pneumonia or other diseases rather than covid-19, despite seeing their positive test results.

Doering’s weekend tweets went viral and prompted reaction from residents, health-care workers and local officials.
“COVID is amplifying the feeling of frustration and helplessness our front-line healthcare workers are experiencing,” Brookings, S.D., City Council member Nick Wendell wrote on Twitter. “We are in the midst of the storm right now. When we see our way through to the other side, the accumulated grief of healthcare workers in our state will be among the debris.”

The United States surpassed 11 million coronavirus cases Sunday, and health experts warn of even bleaker weeks ahead, urging the public to take the pandemic seriously and abide by strict social-distancing rules. They have also urged public officials to implement more restrictions, such as statewide mask mandates, to stem the spread.

Coronavirus cases are increasing rapidly across the country, but North and South Dakota led the nation in new cases and deaths per capita last week, according to Washington Post data.

In North Dakota, where cases have rocketed in the past month, Republican Gov. Doug Burgum has also acknowledged the phenomenon of disbelief among the population. Burgum pleaded with fellow residents late last week to take precautions, as the state’s hospitals are overwhelmed with patients.

“You don’t have to believe in covid, you don’t have to believe in a certain political party or not, you don’t have to believe whether masks work or not. You can just do it because you know that one thing is very real. And that’s that 100 percent of our capacity is now being used,” Burgum said.

‘Covid-hell.’ ‘Humanitarian disaster.’ Experts sound the alarm about U.S. coronavirus outbreak.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem (R) has opposed mask mandates and other measures despite the rapid spread in her state.

Correlation is not causation

And 100% of the capacity is not being used in the for profit medical system, lol

Don't let them stop trying to find out what the fuck is wrong with you because you tested positive for the rona. Doesn't mean that's all you've got it's just one test for a very specific strain of virus.

It does not prove any of your symptoms are related to covid. That's more likely to be true the younger you are

This really has been one of the sadder elements of this alternate universe: People who have been conned into believing fantasy.

The virus was the point at which Trumpism turned from a dangerous freak show to literally being destructive.

1/20/21. The day Sleepy Joe Biden becomes responsible for thousands of deaths. I wonder how much blood will be on his hands?

My "political indoctrination" requires me to believe proveable facts, data and science. Yours requires that you believe whatever Donald Trump tells you is true. 250,000 deaths, 8 million sick, your economy completely trashed, and absolutely no end to this shit for at least another year as Trump tries to create more chaos for the nation on his way out the door. Believing Donald Trump really isn't working out very well for you now is it.

Medical staff have had enough of this bullshit. Thousands have died while Trump has lied to the nation. They want people to start believing the science. Something the Trump Cultists like you refuse to do. You keep carrying on about others believing lies.

Thats because many patients dying and have been labeled as coronovirus patients are actually dying of something else...like old age or some other underlying issue...

Old age, in and of itself, doesn't kill anyone. It takes something more specific, like some kind of organ failure.

Yes, but when they go it usually isn't one thing but multiple failures....kidney shutting down damages the heart (or vice versa) causing swelling in the legs and other places (edema)....which slows blood flow affecting the brain and on and on. Because their bodies are weakened--they catch Covid and die--------but even without covid, they were already dying. Two friends elderly parents died last week of ours------both in their nineties--one was already dying (cancer/organs failing.) Sadly, he finally passing was in a way a relief from watching the endless suffering-------the other had some issues but without the covid would likely lived a bit longer as far as we know.............

Sleepy Joe Biden called Trump a racist when Trump issued the travel ban. I think on 1/20/21 I will start a Joe Biden daily death clock here on USMB. How many thousands of Covid deaths will Joe be responsible for?

Do they then start voting for democrats?

Uh, no, you got it backwards. If you are lying on your deathbed, thinking Covid was a hoax, you are a Trump supporter 100%. No one said social distancing and mask wearing was 100% foolproof. They are necessary to mitigate the spread, as they are the best means available to prevent being sickened. It helps.

 

[DukeU]

No one said social distancing and mask wearing was 100% foolproof.

Which should tell you that we can not control this virus with or without a mask. People who practice the guidelines are dying too.

1/20/21. The day Sleepy Joe Biden becomes responsible for thousands of deaths. I wonder how much blood will be on his hands?

Well, if he LIES to Americans about the severity of the virus, ATTACKS our best health science experts for simply doing their jobs, MOCKS well-meaning Americans who are just trying to protect themselves and their loved ones with masks, CRAMS thousands of Americans into small indoor venues to cheer for him, and CONS the rest of this supporters into not taking virus seriously, no doubt spreading more disease and death...

...I'd have to admit that he would have as much blood on his hands as Trump does. But I'm not worried about that happening.
