South Dakota ER nurse recalls how dying coronavirus patients spend last minutes insisting virus isn't real

South Dakota ER nurse Jodi Doering has seen some disturbing examples of COVID-19 denial as she works through the pandemic.

After a Twitter thread of her experiences started circulating, Doering appeared on CNN's New Day on Monday to describe how South Dakota hospitals are overwhelmed with coronavirus patients - and yet some of them don't believe the virus they have is real. While many patients are "grateful for the care they receive" from nurses, some COVID-19 patients spend their last moments refusing to call family and friends because they're convinced they're going to be fine, Doering said. "Their last dying words are, 'This can't be happening. It's not real,'" Doering recalled. In some cases, patients even insist they have the flu or lung cancer to avoid acknowledging the coronavirus.

Doering went on to mention how more people have died of COVID-19 in South Dakota - 644 - than even live in the town where she's from. South Dakota has the highest COVID-19 mortality rate of almost anywhere in the world - only North Dakota and the entire countries of Belgium and the Czech Republic rank higher. Without a mask mandate and with low rates of mask wearing, the Dakotas have seen coronavirus cases spike over the past few months.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

South Dakota? Hmmm.. wonder what caused the outbreak there?

I seem to recall someone stating it was "over!" and that a certain biker rally was harmless.

Sounds like the same kind of person who would insist they don't have covid as they die from it.

Q on, America!

Check the stats. South Lamekota and COVID

South Lamekota has the second highest rate of cases per capita only surpassed by North Lamekota. Here's the rub. There are only 884K people yet they have two ignorant senators. McConnell counts on the $Hitheads of just a few states to keep power.

Of course he doesn't want statehood for DC or PR. They would get two senators each! DC population is 684K. more than Wyoming and close to Alaska

Back to south lamekota the deaths are going up of course.

twrongz a laughingstock a sad loser.

Isn't that an infraction of some kind counselor oinkblo? Denying while dying?
"But, but: the messiah said it was all a hoax, that it would simply go away! How could the mighty lord loofa EVER be wrong! He knows all, he sees all, it can't be happe......."
Code blue icu.
What was that about another sucker born every minute? Apparently they're checking out at about the same rate........so much dying.
Stop the squeal.

It's fake. That woman is making this up. Covid attacks the lungs. Most people who are dying from this die of respiratory failure. They put those people on ventilators in an attempt to save them. You can't talk when you are on a ventilator. (because you are out cold, among other reasons). Moreover, who, exactly, is going to say "but this is fake" in their dying breath? No one.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

So, you think it is a big hoax so she get talked about on NSR?

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I noticed it always coincides with their own desires

Not a hint. Or a clue. Merest modicum of a semblance of any inkling.
About the suffering and dying going on, in our america. Due to the willfully ignorant, laughable incompetence and outright criminal negligence by herr chumpf and his treasonous enablers.
Or the truly heartbreaking stories in this article. Not a word of sympathy or compassion from any of you magats
This EXACT same scenario is playing out across our nation, folks.
Our heroic frontline healthcare workers are: approaching a fatigue and attitude meltdown.
But noooo: fake news, etc.
You chumpfscum have created a world of hurt and misery.
Time you suffer some as well....

It's a democratic hoax

I hear that on "some people's" Twitter posts, they add little notes to suggest that the author may not be telling the truth.

-------------------------
add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

Seems to me that the tRump scum, tampon was saying that the Covid 19 virus was over and a hoax.

Now he is claiming expertise in describing the symptoms.

Hey just stfu. Twitter would have banned this piece of shit years ago.

We are in this world of shit because of you kool aid drinking tRump cult mother fuckers. Least you could do now is get out of the way and let the professionals handle this.
Or you could could just keep what you are doing: no mask, mass spreader events, denial.
Solves the problem.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

This post highlights another reason why no one likes progs. They are always bitter and angry. So, this nutcase just realized his most cherished dream - the end of the Trump presidency - but he is bitter and angry still. I, on the other hand, am as happy as always.

Ohh, in other words, the same lying pile of stinking feces, happy as a pig in shit, huh, admiral oinkafeller?
No brain, no pain.....duuhhhuuuuhhuuuuhhh

It's a democratic hoax

Except your glaring bitterness and anger is completely obvious to everyone on NSR.

Again, just because you say or want something to be true- doesn't mean it is.

Nah, he's just tired of stupid. Most people are, hence the election.

Oh, and it looks like you were wrong again. lol

Imagine that.

I was right.

Told you. Progs once again make asses out of themselves.

Wanting it it be fake doesn't make it fake. They are going to have Trump Covid wings where the dying can threaten their doctors' lives for inflating the numbers with their illnesses.

Not looking fake, Qpap - saw her on TV as well.

Just because you wish it's something it's not doesn't make it so.

Probably more than a few things in your world that applies to lol

But you guys are used to to living in your cherry picked reality bubbles, so...

It just has to be fake!

Next, you will be telling me that Unicorns are not real!!?? LOL LOL LOL LOL

Qspank a bitter stinky shell of a person anymore. I bet his small $hitty heart hurts because of the loss of his orange lover.

Nobody said it wasn't possible it ended up being fake.. just noted it was not looking that way at the time.

We know you love to pat your own back Pattycakes, but let's not forget who announced "It's Over!" back in May 2020 LOL

You also claimed people can't talk when they are dying of Covid, of which there is video proof to the contrary.

So easy with that backpatting Qostradamus..

ER nurse says some COVID-19 patients still think coronavirus is a hoax: 'How much more real can it get?'

Abby Haglage

Karina Molina loves being a nurse, but ever since the third wave of COVID-19 hit - bringing a record number of cases to her state of Kentucky - the idea of going to work fills her with dread. "My anxiety is so high every time while I'm getting ready," Molina, who works at two emergency departments run by the University of Kentucky, tells Yahoo Life. "I don't know what to expect. ... It's overwhelming."

The Texas native works the night shift as a charge nurse, a job that requires both treating patients and overseeing the other nurses in her shift. Last week, Kentucky recorded more than 20,000 cases of COVID-19, bringing its total to over 160,000. It's one of many states where hospitals have exceeded 70 percent capacity. "Our volume has skyrocketed," Molina says of the patients coming into her ER. "It's just been really straining and draining on our staff."

One of the more troubling things she has witnessed is that some individuals, even while battling the virus, still believe it's a hoax. "We can only tell people it's real so many times. We'll have patients come up positive and they'll say, 'You're just trying to take our money' or 'You didn't do it correctly," she says. "People have said, 'No, I'm not going up to the COVID unit. I don't have it.' How do you argue that? How much more real can it get?"

On top of patients who don't believe in the virus, Molina has had to deal with an influx of "ER boarders" - individuals who have been admitted to the hospital but, because there are no available beds, must remain in the ER. "They've run out of rooms upstairs, so they've had to start double-bedding COVID-positive people. They call them bunk beds," says Molina. "They're not actual bunk beds, they're just two people in one room ... but the nurses who bring them up tell me some of them could hold hands if they wanted to."

Although ER boarding is not uncommon, Molina says they have gone from averaging 30 boarders a day to as many as 60, forcing ER nurses to perform duties outside their scope. "We're a jack of all trades; we're not specialized," she says. "We're trained to think differently - to fix you right now. We're not trained to think about the long term. We're here to stabilize you, but we don't think about what happens if you lay in bed and don't move around, or if you don't get the protein you need. We're not trained for that."

Dr. Thomas Benzoni, an emergency medicine physician in Des Moines, Iowa, is experiencing many of the same things Molina is - some of which he blames on individuals who don't believe that the virus is real. "It's maddening that people could do something about it and choose not to. It's like if you have an infection and don't take the antibiotics. It doesn't make sense," he says. "And the warped logic that I'm seeing used. ... In the old days, that would warrant you an antipsychotic and a psych bed."

For doctors like Benzoni, those who believe the virus is a hoax or avoid things like personal protective gear are a direct threat. "We're immersed in it. So my colleagues will keep getting sick, and a number of them will unfortunately die," Benzoni says. "It's already happening around the nation and it's just going to be happening more in the Midwest because that's the choice the Midwest has made."

Why is it so hard to conceive that Qotards can't accept that they have Covid when they have Covid?

They lost the election in a landslide and can't accept that they are the losers, so... dah fuh?
