According to Healthline, over 1200 healthcare workers have died from coronavirus.
After months, Republicans like David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler have failed to provide proper N95 masks for America’s nurses, paramedics and healthcare workers caring for coronavirus patients. Hell, they won’t even admit that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the election.
Perdue and Loeffler are backing Donald Trump to the bitter end—at the peril of our healthcare workers and their patients.
These healthcare workers’ deaths were 100% preventable.
Trump bragged about withholding test kits while Perdue and Loeffler backed him.
Trump failed to offer a nationally coordinated response to the pandemic. Perdue and Loeffler refused to even vote on coronavirus stimulus relief.
Trump refused to provide live-saving protective gear to medical staff—Perdue and Loeffler have profited from the pandemic. In fact, Loeffler was accused of insider trading by Bill Barr’s DOJ after being caught profiting from the coronavirus pandemic. How many died while Loeffler got richer?
Trump refused to require social distancing which has increased pressure on our healthcare workers, placing them in harms way. Meanwhile, Perdue and Loeffler are too busy licking Trump’s boots.
Trump couldn’t be bothered to implement a simple nationwide mask policy. This continues to add to the burden of an already overwhelmed hospital staff—Perdue and Loeffler support Trump’s insane policies.
A survey held by National Nurses United found that thousands of nurses still don't have access to proper PPE (life-saving protective wear). Meanwhile, nurses are treating patients with infectious diseases, like coronavirus, without protective gear months into this pandemic.
Substandard Dangerous Practices
Hospitals are forcing medical workers—mostly nurses and patient care techs— to reuse dirty N95 masks and other life-protecting supplies despite knowing that the protective equipment could fail.
Many nurses report having to reuse “one time only wear masks” not just all day, but over multiple days.
These practices are considered to be substandard worldwide!
Perdue and Loeffler’s Silence Is Deafening
Nurses report that N95masks are kept from them in locked storage areas where they can’t access them. Why are healthcare workers are being forced to choose between providing life-saving care and protecting themselves?
To be clear, N95 masks are one-time wear only and are not designed for reuse. Nurses and techs are being forced to wear them until the masks fall apart—and fail.
Fun Fact: 87% of the American nurses surveyed report that they have been forced to reuse the single-use, disposable N95 masks.
Sadly, NPR reports that in the spring of 2017 the “Trump administration halted the final implementation of new federal regulations that would have required the health care industry to prepare for an airborne infectious disease pandemic. Consequently, there are no federal workplace rules that specifically protect health care workers from deadly airborne pathogens such as influenza, tuberculosis or the coronavirus.” Perdue and Loeffler continue to back Trump.
Perdue and Loefller Have Known About The Shortages For Months
These shortages have been known nationwide for months. Most Americans were shocked to see American nurses forced to wear garbage bags back in March. However, it’s November and the Republican-led Senate still has not offered a national coordinated response the the coronavirus pandemic.
Lives Were Lost
Ousted vaccine expert Dr. Rick Bright testified, "Lives were endangered, and I believe lives were lost. We were forced to procure the supplies from other countries without the right quality standards, so even our doctors and nurses—today are wearing N95-marked masks that don't provide sufficient protection.”
Translation: Many nurses, techs, paramedics and healthcare workers are being forced to wear KN95 masks which famously don’t provide the same level of safety as N95 masks.
These substandard masks infiltrated hospitals nationwide because Trump and his Republican toadies like Perdue and Loeffler didn’t care enough to provide safe equipment.
Will For-profit Hospitals Continue These Unsafe Practices?
Many worry that these unsafe practices around infection control will become the new normal in American healthcare settings.
None of this concerns David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. Their biggest concern is their rich cronies, delegitimizing America’s election and licking Trump’s boots.
They will continue to ignore the needs of Healthcare workers if re-elected.
