I need to clarify this post. I’m not an RN. I copied it from a friends post she is the hero. These people stare the beast in the eye every day they need and deserve our Thanks and prayers Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Up until now, I have been extremely silent on my personal feelings on how the COVID-19 pandemic is being handled by the public. But I feel like after the things I saw, both in person and on social media, and heard over the last few days, especially yesterday, I can’t be quiet anymore. Yesterday, after finishing my weekend shifts at University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philly, I was driving home to my parent’s house. I was passing Boat House Row and the trail on the river by Kelly Drive. The amount of people I saw on this trail brought me to tears, I’m not joking I literally started to cry on 76 in my car still in my scrubs. I had to have passed over 100 people on this trail, all within arms distance of each other, most without any sort of mask on. I don’t care that it was 70 degrees in Philly yesterday. I don’t care that you’re “going crazy” inside your house. I don’t care that yesterday was Easter and you wanted to see distance relatives. My colleagues, in all departments at all healthcare facilities, and I go to work for shifts ranging from 8-24 hours long and work directly with COVID positive patients. We see how devastating this disease is first hand. We are the only people who actually see it at its worst since these poor patients can’t have family come and see them. No visitors to ANY patient in the hospital, including the non-COVID floors. We come home and have serious talks with our loved ones about how we’re going to handle this as a household. My parents and I literally had a conversation last week about how they are willing to risk contracting the virus, and potentially dying, in order for me to be home with them when I’m not working. My roommate in Philly who is a nurse has been staying with people she works with to not bring it home. You assholes who think you’re above this are bike riding on a trail to “clear your head”. The most exercise some of you have seen in 10+ years. You’re going to friend’s/families’ houses and then going back to your own, breaking your quarantine and risking everyone around you. And bragging about it by posting on social media that you’re with people who aren’t in your household, at a house that isn’t yours. Going to Target and Walmart to just get out of the house, contaminating everything in the store and putting others at risk. Going to a freaking church service on a roof when they are broadcasting masses on TV that you don’t have to leave your home for. YOU are the reason this quarantine is as long as it is. YOU are the reason people are getting sick and dying. YOU are the reason so many of my friends (and myself) haven’t seen their parents, siblings, kids, grandparents in over a month. NOT the government. I am absolutely BEGGING everyone to stay inside. If it is not essential to your survival, please don’t leave your house. You‘ll live not exercising outside for a few months, some of you who have been going outside have been preparing your whole lives for that, don’t start now. Take it seriously now, don’t wait until someone you love is affected to start caring. You want to post “thank you health heroes” on your social media? How about you actually give a rats ass about us and stay inside. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That is still a 3 hour trip. You are traveling through populations , stopping for gas , snacks , bathroom breaks. That is against everything that is being asked of us. You may bring corona or catch corona , but either way you risk spreading it and maybe killing people. If you want to jump off the bridge, that’s your business. But when you risk taking my family with you , that’s my business. Stay home Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

You would be right if you said a friend took and sent the pic. I have been to Sam’s club and Wally World a totol of once in 3 weeks. I went to my church and picked up palms. I’ve worked on my boat in my yard on nice days. All alone. The boat is ready to go. But it’s going to sit there till this is over. Thanks for your concern Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Mexico point this AM Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

We did this to ourselves. When you go to Wright’s or Mexico or Henderson and see plates from PA , NH , NJ , VT etc. when you are supposed to stay home. This is what you get. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I think you have hit the nail on the head my mother had copd ( years before Covid-19). They put her on a ventilator, and she had to stay On it for 11 months before passing. I believe her lungs got weak and dependent on the vent to breath Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That is exactly what I am trying to convey Stay Home My point is : people traveling to Lake O from anywhere ,are risking the lives of people in this area

Completely ignorant point of view iyho. Last I looked Broome cty was down on the PA border I have lived in Jefferson and Oswego ctys my whole life. Upstate does not need an influx of people to help spread this virus. Stay home. Very simple Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That’s right NYC is the hot spot. I feel for those people and what they are going through. That said , keeping this virus downstate is what this is all about. Having people inundate upstate from all over is not accomplishing containment. Stay home till this is over and life gets back to normal Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

No issues. The only time they would be trimmed up together would be in shallow water , like anchored off the beach for a swim Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Yes. It’s trimmed all the way up now with kicker in trailer position Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It would have to get onto the teens before I would worry. The engine is covered by the doghouse and it would take a while to freeze Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Any wave prediction is usually off by at least a foot. NOAA , etc. if it says 1-3. Figure 2-4. The only sure way is look when you get there. What you see is what you get. I’ve gotten to the launch too many times only to find its way too rough to go out. The chance you take. Be respectful of Lake O. It can get mean quickly. Watch the weather and have a vhf radio on board. Always. This is what it can be Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

talk about catch 22 The mayor says the launch is open , but you can't drive to it . No unnecessary travel go figure guess if you want to fish bad enough you'll take the chance on a ticket or driving back home Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The city of Oswego has issued a no travel ordinance. If you can’t travel , you can’t launch a boat. Launch is closed till travel ban is lifted Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
