So, if the coronavirus infiltrates that facility, it will become a literal deathtrap.

This is hard for me to share and admit, but as with my entire life, I’m hoping to use my experience to create awareness. I’m not sure what the solution is, but this has been a disaster in the making for years. Please keep those men in your hearts.

This is no hoax

I am a retired military doctor. I am trained in both emergency medicine and public health. I am also 69 years old with underlying heart and lung problems. It goes without saying that I have studied this problem with great interest.

I can assure those who are writing the Pulse (along with their role models Ricketts and Trump) and dismissing the efforts to contain SARS COVID-19 as “hysteria” that the pandemic is real. It is going to become very much “more real” in the upcoming weeks, particularly for those who, for reasons known only to themselves, have, in the face of a mounting tsunami of evidence, refused to grasp the horrific nature of what is tearing up the rest of the country and is about to befall the fat, dumb, happy state of Nebraska.
