The covid testing center was terrifying to say the least.
I arrived to find three security guards outside, one on the door and one to hand out masks. Once inside there was yet another guard. They do not have that many guards for their health. Inside, they have signs not to use your cell phone. Why? So, you cannot secretly photograph the place to plan an attack. You don’t pay that many guards to stand around looking pretty. You pay them for protection and security. From whom? Antivaxxers? Anti-Maskers? Nut cases in general.
It is not enough that you see many nurses, mostly female, standing there to take your test to help protect you. This alone is super dangerous. Yet they do it. Risk their lives to fight an epidemic, and now they have to risk their lives in case the local nut cases come to attack them? It is overwhelming to see the security on what should be a scary medical issue, not a scary armed standoff.
I know, they are merely preparing for the worst. The fact that there is something worse than getting covid is, in itself, insane.
During the assault on the American capital, the young people, the interns and newly hired showed the older people where to hide and how to hide. They basically took care of their bosses to prevent tragedy. How did they know what to do or where to go? They have lived through the school shooting era. They learned the drills in class on what to do with an active shooter. Now, we have to teach this to nurses who are trying to save lives. This is truly insane.
