More unreported clues to CoVid-19 transmission

Post-shift hygiene by hospital workers…

There is none

I have suggested that hospitals themselves are a major if not the major source of the spread of CoVid-19 infections. (See previous pages on this subject.)

If that’s true, what would be the mechanism?

I asked a logical question and got a frightening answer:

What about post-shift hygiene by hospital workers before they hit the streets, stores, and go home.

There is none.

Don’t take my word for it.

What follows is Standard Operating Procedure for hospital workers in their own words and one colleague just told me he saw a worker in scrubs shopping today (March 27, 2020) in Los Angeles.

I had to add an important addendum to the list I emailed earlier of ways the Right is trying to exploit this crisis to push their agenda and for their own political benefit.

As Aaron Black at the Washington Post pointed out today, Republicans are also enjoying that this crisis could cause problems for ballot access this year, and they’re trying to thwart efforts to make it possible for people to vote! Trump himself was clear that the motive is the same as the one that’s always behind the Right’s voter suppression efforts:

We have just $2,115 to go before midnight! Help put us over the top RIGHT NOW:

Please chip in to STOP Trump Republicans’ shocking exploitation of this crisis and defeat them at the polls!>>

—-[previous message]—-

We’re watching the Right Wing very closely – as we always do, with PFAW’s Right Wing Watch – and the trends we’re seeing from the Trump administration and its Republican allies amidst this global health crisis are beyond disturbing.

Conspiracy theories and dangerous disinformation from the Right have exploded, which, unfortunately, is not unexpected. But what’s arguably just as dangerous – especially over the long term – is the naked opportunism we’re seeing from right-wing officials, from Trump all the way on down.

• Republican state officials are trying to use the pandemic as an excuse to shut down access to abortion…
• Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is exploiting the crisis to push education privatization schemes in the form of more school vouchers that would take money from public schools…
• Trump has announced a freeze on the enforcement of all federal environmental regulations and protections, including rolling back the fuel emissions standards that have been the centerpiece of the U.S. effort to combat climate change …

And the list continues to grow…

If they are able to get away with these infringements on the rights and interests of the public, does anyone really think they’ll reinstate the protections they’re now trying to deny without a fight?

We need to fight back to stop the erosion of our liberties during this crisis and continue our push to hold Trump Republicans accountable by defeating them up and down the ballot.

Are you with us? If so, then we need you to help us finish the first quarter of 2020 strong with a critically urgent donation before tonight’s deadline.

Please renew for 2020 with your most generous donation so we can put your support to work right away>>

We’re $17,008 short of our budget with just hours to go and we’re depending on our best supporters to step up today.

In these uncertain times, falling behind now could doom our work for the rest of the year and we can’t afford to miss a beat – if we fall short, Trump and the Far Right win. It’s that simple.

And there is so. Much. Work. To. Do.

All of the exploitation of this crisis by the Right that we’re seeing so far is bound to get worse, so we need your help to keep sounding the alarm.

And, of course, the Trump administration – mostly through the Treasury Department, headed by Trump lackey Steve Mnuchin – will be in charge of dispersing the half a trillion dollars to corporations that Congress just authorized with its coronavirus relief legislation … so we need to be extra vigilant in making sure the Trump administration doesn’t use that money for corrupt corporate kickbacks and shameless self-enrichment.

Even though the nature of our field operations have changed, the campaigns all continue … we’re still influencing media narratives, planning ads, and employing the latest digital organizing tools to continue to counter the Right and have a massive impact in this year’s elections.

Today is our biggest deadline of the year so far and we’re pleading with you to stand with us during this challenging time. We’ve never needed your steadfast support more than we do right now.

Please donate whatever you can immediately so we can continue the fight to our democracy>>

Thank you so much for your support and everything you do.

Stay safe,

Michael Keegan, President
