A nurse without an N95 mask raced in to treat a 'code blue' patient. She died 14 days later

The decision that Celia Marcos made, the one that would ultimately steal years from her life, had been hard-wired after decades working as a nurse.

On the ward that she oversaw at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, a man with COVID-19 had stopped breathing. Marcos' face was covered only with a thin surgical mask, and obtaining a more protective N95 mask before entering his room would have wasted valuable time, her colleagues say.

The 61-year-old charge nurse knew the chest compressions and other breathing treatments the patient needed would likely spew dangerous virus particles into the air that could land on her face and clothing. She would be at high risk of catching the coronavirus.

Marcos raced into the room. Fourteen days later, she was dead.

Marcos died in the same hospital where she had worked for more than 16 years, one of at least 36 healthcare workers in California who have succumbed to COVID-19.

Ok, let's figure this one out.

Stereotypical white woman name? Karen. Check!
Talks about Asians, who are the ones being blamed for causing this Check.
Mentions in full caps they're white? Check.

It's obviously either a joke, or a parody.

May her memory be a blessing.

A group of medical students at UCSF created a fact site to debunk myths. Some obviously moronic (injecting bleach), others at least sane (can pets be a vector?)

It does indeed pass the parody check. Unfortunately, it also passes the unironic, lacking-in-self-awareness Karen check.

We'll need to send this to the Supreme Court to figure out.

I call for @SlyPokerDog to provide us with the actual link.
 
and then we have this idiot acting like he knows what he is talking about and instead he is encouraging people to quickly open up with no regard to their safety. The economy is more important than peoples lives. Be safe, move quickly?? WTF does that even mean. Be safe by ignoring the phase one requirements? Open quickly to help the economy over the lives of people?
