    Police investigate pepper spraying of mother near toddler

    Yes my husband is black, 6 foot 2 inches tall. And he will be truthful to tell you that he wasn't the most compliant when he got arrested and/or detained as a young man. He says the only cop that roughed him up was a black cop.

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    The funny thing is that I even see differences in each county within NYS. Hopefully things easy up soon.

    Police investigate pepper spraying of mother near toddler

    The child was not affected by the pepper spray. And the mother should not have grabbed back on to her child Yes. Separate incident. Separate discussion. Child wasn't hurt...no thanks to the mom.

    Police investigate pepper spraying of mother near toddler

    Exactly. She was just asked to stay put while they cleared it up and she ran away with the child. My husband grew up in that city and for the most part says the police there are good.

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    No not on purpose. But as someone that has been in health care for many years, when a crisis happens, you have to prioritize care. Who has the best chance to survive? Its a sad statement to make and actually have to put in action. When resources are limited, priority will be given to those...

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    No they are not. But also guidelines for nursing home staff are different than everyone else. Health care workers in NYS can return to work after 10 days of quarantine and no symptoms. Nursing home staff must quarantine for 14 days and have a negative to return.

    McConnell Opposes $1,400 Stimulus Checks Because He Thinks People Could Stop Working

    I don't think the one time payment will be enough to stop people from working. But the unemployment deal back in the first round did. I had staff walk out of my nursing home and get unemployment. They had jobs but preferred to stay at home and get paid. The area I live in is not exactly the...

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    Staff members do and did need to test negative before they could come back to work in the nursing home after having COVID. That started around May of last year. I was out 21 days - I had no symptoms but kept testing positive. I did have COVID because I have the antibodies. We do not allow...

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    Well I do agree with you on what your wrote. I do know who was patient zero was. It wasn't a staff member. But it could have been if this resident wasn't the first. A lot of people, not just staff, did not take COVID seriously. They were all worried about taking care of residents with COVID...

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    Thank you. I can't see myself doing anything other than working in long term care. The residents make my day, everyday. That's why it was so hard losing as many as we did. We learned a lot from the first outbreak. This time when we got hit again, we had a game plan, we limited it and we...

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    How about the ones going to dialysis? How about the new admits/readmits? We did not have the tests available to test staff. What staff we had left and didn't walk out on us or get sick after the outbreak started. I was working mad hours until - they finally allowed staff to get tested and I...

    Will Governor Cuomo be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of nursing home deaths due to his negligence?

    Exactly. I get having to send them back. But as someone who works in a nursing home, we had no staff and very little PPE. We got a difference answer on what to do everyday from the state. And what really made me angry is blaming staff for them getting sick. Really?

    Walmart ends practice of locking up black hair care products sold at its stores

    Exactly. In my area Walmart has many items they lock up: Video games, phone cards, electric razors, etc. And in one Walmart they lock down the entire makeup aisle in the evening. This isn't to you, but Black hair care products are very expensive. My husband and I have a store that supplies...

    Still No Knowledge Of Even One Person Sick , Not even Twice Removed

    Not knowing me doesn't make it any less true. I doubt even if I showed you in person, would you believe.

    Still No Knowledge Of Even One Person Sick , Not even Twice Removed

    I work in an nursing home. Last count 27 residents have it, 8 staff members. I have lost 4 of my residents to the virus. And we are just seeing the peak since we are rural. And I am very far from left wing.
