Yesterday at active shooter training, we were told that if there was a shooting at our school, we could use our masks from the pandemic to stuff the bullet wounds of the children.

(1,915 posts)For treating gsw's, stopping the bleeding is the highest priority. Everything else is 2nd.

(86,332 posts)Just is a thought that grosses me out thinking of having to deal with that on top of the wound.

(8,318 posts)They wont do much to stop the bleeding. Better off using womans sanitary product and duct tape. Take your mask, run some water on it or try to clean a spill with it and see how it works. Answer, not well.

(90,758 posts)school shootings have become such a normal part of American life.
Just "Good idea" - without once considering how much they now accept without question, without disgust, without outrage. Simply giving in to it.
Oh, golly. Another school shooting. Was it an anti-mask school? Too bad. Could have used those masks to plug all those gaping wounds.
Oh, well. What's for dinner?

(989 posts)A country in which we stuff the masks we must continue to wear because our fellow Americans can't or won't take a pandemic seriously to stanch the blood flow from bullet wounds caused by gun violence that continues to kill tens of thousands each year because our elected officials can't or won't do anything about it.
USA! USA!
