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.

Given the frequency of school shootings, they can't argue masks are totally useless.

I would rather they looked for something else, personally.

For treating gsw's, stopping the bleeding is the highest priority. Everything else is 2nd.

And tampons are suitable for gunshot wounds in an emergency.

As sterile as you're going to get.

They won’t do much to stop the bleeding. Better off using woman’s 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.

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?

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!
