Nicholas King said:You’re being unfair.

The doctor from the local clinic explained what happened. She tried calling the CDC via telephone—multiple times, actually—but she just couldn't get anyone on the line. That was it. And yet, you all immediately jump to making jokes about it...

So, I suppose things escalated a bit.

🤣

John McCain: It isn't true that we weren't answering calls from Home Depot; they called us once, and we answered immediately.There is absolutely no way they couldn't reach us.

If the coordinates you and Sugar provided are actually accurate, they honestly shouldn't have bothered with a carrier pigeon—they could have just folded up a paper airplane, tossed it in the air, and it probably would've reached the CDC by now.

Ms. Karen was incredibly adamant during the press conference about clearing her name of any wrongdoing—though, I suppose, the whole question of who called whom (or if anyone even called anyone at all) is going to be tied up in a criminal investigation for quite some time.

Mind you, in the middle of all that frantic nervousness, she did slip up and say, "We weren't able to get a hold of the parents of the facility residents..." 😬.

Vili?

It can't be Villa's fault—I mean, this guy was already in the seat before he even showed up.
Villa can basically only swoop in and take the credit if something actually works out.

Well, obviously, that was meant to be sarcasm; I think it’s pretty clear to everyone—including those involved—that the staff at the Employee Home completely botched this situation.

I suppose it is just somewhat interesting to observe how much drama they are creating for themselves by trying to shift the blame onto others out of pure fear, especially when they are essentially pointing fingers at their own people. And we know that political parties rarely let things like that slide.

"My colleague and I were in San Francisco. The individual who called the phone number provided a written statement. It doesn't make sense to me that if multiple numbers exist, someone could claim they fulfilled their duty just by calling one or two times. You make a call at one point, but it's not as if the world ended on March 29th or 30th. Making a single call or perhaps two to one specific number isn't sufficient action given the gravity of such a serious situation," Beroš said.

"It's like your house is on fire, and you only call one number when you actually have five," Beroš remarked.

I guess we are still waiting to see the true scale of this negligence, the disregard for the issue, the denialism, or whatever else might be happening behind the scenes.

The potential impact could involve several fatalities, maybe ten critical cases, thirty hospitalized, and hundreds in isolation (considering people from the facility being sidelined for two weeks).

At this point, Beroš's rhetoric regarding a "fifth column" is starting to feel almost like a caricature.

The tragic situation in San Francisco just keeps getting uglier

An employee at an Employee Home in San Francisco says it all started with a single room, yet everyone stayed quiet about it. This nightmare has been going on for decades because, frankly, everyone is terrified of the head nurse...

The reason I’m attaching this PDF is simple:

Everyone knows what's happening, but nobody seems to care, mostly because over half the staff here are just political appointees who don't actually do anything. To make matters worse, they're being hired by the very same people currently leading the investigation into how the virus spread through our facility.

Meanwhile, someone (maybe Škaričić?) is busy drafting these incredibly touching emails, overflowing with collective support for our "brilliant" director....

🤦 🤣 🤣

If only they had used that same eloquence to write a single letter to the epidemiologists... just to show they actually have a conscience and give a damn....

So, Škaričić hired 68 people at the Home over just a few years, then had the nerve to complain to the county about a labor shortage

I guess every decent Democrat just brings their whole damn tribe along with them.

Schariot hit a snag within the Republican Party; initially accepted the resignation, then changed his mind.

From what I understand, the head of the local Republican Party branch and Bill Clinton had actually agreed on his resignation, but then he seemingly changed his mind at the last minute, perhaps because he realized that stepping down would be an admission of his own fault.

It’s honestly quite something when you think about the kind of people we have in the Republican Party. The way Bill Clinton is acting feels almost like how Hitler might have sent Rommel a cyanide capsule after feeling betrayed. At the end of the day, I suppose everything else just comes down to a matter of honor.

But man, I guess Robert Mueller did betray the party.

It’s almost unbelievable, but I feel like I’m reading Oliver Twist... 🙄

Okay, fine, maybe I’m exaggerating—let's say Alan Ford instead.

They were working and crying, and then spending hours just hand-writing names over and over again. The local school doesn't even have computers

Honestly, it's just ridiculous... because of those "stay at home" orders, I ended up with six of them sitting around my house! Usually, we only ever need four. 🙄

Should I donate one of my computers to the school? 😁

M would probably take offense. They have their own stuff, the cost is peanuts.

Well, it finally happened. Just what we were all dreading... The head of the Mayo Clinic in California caught Corona, so now the entire County Emergency Services Headquarters is stuck in self-isolation.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the director of the Mayo Clinic in California—who also happens to be on the County Emergency Services Headquarters—has tested positive. Damir Jelić, the guy running the local Headquarters, broke the news to the media today.

He confirmed that because things are getting pretty serious, every single member of the Headquarters and anyone who was hanging out near him is officially in isolation.

And right when they were finally getting into the groove of bossing people around in their uniforms, too. What a joke.

driftingtinker said:Staff at the local Florida residential facility are sticking up their boss, Skaričić: They say he’s nothing but a class act

I mean, honestly, this guy basically took in the whole damn neighborhood.

Look
here is the signature—the nursing home staff themselves.

In this article—link below—they actually list the full names of everyone signing off on the piece,
unlike that first article.

Nursing home staff released a formal list
Supporting the head nurse.

And look, even the ambulance was spotted today—I wonder who they're moving around now?

It’s been seven days since Corona exploded at the Split Nursing Home, and now we’re just counting the dead. Where are the leadership changes?

We’ve spent a week waiting for either a resignation or for the Republican director of the facility to be replaced.

There was all this talk last week about how it was only a matter of time before something happened, but nothing has materialized. Even seven days later, there’s no movement. He isn't stepping down—I suppose he probably views resigning as some sort of admission of guilt, which is likely the last thing he wants to deal with while people are actually dying. Meanwhile, the state leaders—the very people whose political backing paved the way for Škaričić's career as a director—aren't removing him. Unless they can find a specific formal violation, he could potentially sue them, so instead, they’ve appointed Helena Bandalović as a "coordinator," though it seems pretty obvious to me that the real goal there is just to sideline Škaričić.

Why is everyone dragging their feet when it comes to taking responsibility?

I think you have to try and put yourself in the shoes of someone looking for a nursing home for their elderly parents. You eventually come across this facility in Split, which carries this terrible reputation because almost the entire staff and most of the residents fell ill at once, and some people are passing away day after day.

I guess it isn't particularly difficult to connect the dots; anyone would probably give this place a very wide berth.

No matter how you look at it, this administration has caused irreparable damage to the institution.

So, I really have to wonder, what are we waiting for in terms of accountability?

The media and the public are so distracted by this outbreak that there’s zero real pressure being applied. We saw how this works with those former Republican Party ministers; eventually, Premier Sunce and the new Communist Party USA won't have any choice but to throw the puppet under the bus.

If journalists actually start turning up the heat, Škaričić will be out the door. There might even be an investigation into criminal liability—something the Republican Party would never bother doing here in America.

His "Dear Uncle Luka" party colleague, on the other hand, spent years being dragged through the courts and the headlines...

Yes, one really ought to step into that role...

They’re just going to crash headlong into everything with all that brute force, desperately hoping that Corona cleared enough space for them to make their move... 😉

Take a look at these accommodation prices...If you find yourself looking for reliable care or specialized support services, I highly recommend checking out the offerings available through the local nursing home staff... They really seem to have a comprehensive range of options designed to meet various needs, whether you're seeking professional assistance or just a bit of extra help around the house. It’s always such a relief to know there are dedicated professionals ready to step in when things get complicated, especially when you want that peace of mind knowing everything is being handled with genuine care and expertise...Just try comparing that to what you pay at private facilities... I was personally shelling out $6,000 every single month for my mother’s care at a private residence, only to have people complain about how demanding she was or how much she bossed everyone around...

The application process for a spot at Zenta is going to follow the exact same pattern we saw with Eton... basically, as soon as a child is born, parents will be able to submit their request for placement in the Zenta facility immediately...

Of course, all of this assumes, I suppose, that the director of the institution isn't some sort of Dr. Mengele-style archaeologist.

It’s honestly kind of wild how much those Republican Party folks obsess over uniforms... I guess Dodo is just the latest guy jumping on that weird fashion trend.

The Republican Party has a strategy in mind for the upcoming Election, though they aren't looking at June; instead, they're telling us they want to push things toward August or September. There isn't even a conversation happening within the Republican Party about implementing electronic voting for this cycle, and if you ask the biggest opposition group, the Democratic Party, they’ve made it clear they would fight such an idea tooth and nail.
According to folks in the Republican Party, the Election should be called 45 days after Congress is dissolved, which provides enough time to get all the candidate lists filed while still leaving a solid three weeks for the pre-election campaign.

What the Republican Party is really trying to dodge is the fallback scenario that hits if we can't pull off the vote in late summer, especially if a new wave of Corona rolls in this fall and makes holding an Election impossible by the end of the year. If that happens, the Constitution and the Election Act provide a way out through Article 17 of the Constitution, which allows for declaring a pandemic a national emergency, letting a two-thirds majority decide to extend the current term of the sitting Congress.

I’m hoping they push the election back as far as possible. There’s really no reason to rush through this given the current circumstances. Late November or even December would be much better.
