Hawks in the us air force will be over new York at midnight on 28 April and will be circling in the night sky for 40 minutes is a kind of salute to American health care workers fighting on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19. The city authorities urged citizens to enjoy the action without leaving their homes. In anticipation of the Airshow “MK” talked with ordinary new Yorkers and learned how they relate to similar expression of gratitude to the doctors from the authorities.
a Resident of the suburb Jennifer works in a pharmacy in Manhattan and every day, returning home, sees what’s going on near the hospital where coronavirus patients:
– each hospital at 7 PM, when finishing one shift of doctors and intrudes another, every day going to the residents and greet medical workers as the real heroes! Next to police and fire, but instead of chasing and arresting citizens for what they came out of the house, they join in the celebration of doctors. This support lifts the spirit!
Airplanes, too, will raise?
– Well, that would be a symbol that the whole country is now with the doctors. Practical help for the doctors, too, have a most often ordinary people. Millions of people collect money as much as they can – and feeding of health care workers in hospitals. Every day they bring free food from different places.
a Brooklyn Resident, our former compatriot named Valya, talks about his sister who is a nurse in the emergency room one of the largest hospitals of the city.
– a Sister never speak of this to outsiders. But we, her family, know how terrible is happening in our hospitals! There are thousands of people who are unable to breathe and die by the thousands. And while the man himself may walk, not even hospitalitynet. He still can not, lies at home and lose wages and sometimes work at all. My sister also moved COVID-19. Been sick since March 19, is very hard, lying at home for several weeks and only recently returned to work. She wouldn’t even pay for the entire hospital.
– what?
– This is America: there is no such thing as sick leave, which writes Dr. The number of days that you can probally without losing the salaries depends on the organization where you work. I, for example, there are 8 sick days a year to get them, no need to provide any references. But if seriously ill, then if there is a confirmation from the doctor comes into force insurance or quick disability or long-term. But this is only if you have insurance and jobs. And now millions of people are left without work. And half of them can’t even apply for unemployment benefits, as worked in the company, and for cash. And once they g��the state had not deducted taxes, so no allowance. Scary to think what will happen! And suddenly all these unemployed going to Rob?!
Valya says that going out to work, her sister turned to the new York blood center to donate blood plasma to help sick coronavirus providers.
Doctors do not get sick! If all health care providers get sick, who’s going to treat?! But sister was not allowed to donate blood for the plasma due to the fact that she lived in Russia in the 80-90-ies.
– what’s the connection?
– they Have a document, according to which blood is not accepted from those who “lived in Europe more than 5 years from 1980 to the present time.” This is somehow related to “agent of mad cow disease”, to check which blood is somehow impossible. But if it is, the transfusion is supposedly a big risk for the recipient. Our family emigrated from Russia to the USA in 1994, so help the sisters rejected. She was very upset. Because it means that all immigrants from Europe who came after 1980, the year would be rejected! Is this wise at a time when the demand for blood with antibodies to COVID-19 is very large, but offer very little?! When every day so many deaths and infected a huge number of doctors! Well the aircraft but launched into the sky, and thanks for that.
