Gay Nurses Bring it Home During the Coronavirus Crisis
By Matt Tracy Posted on May 5, 2020
Out gay RN Cidric Trinidad, who serves Queens communities that have been hit especially hard by the coronavirus pandemic, sleeps in a separate space from his partner to avoid spreading COVID-19.
It has become a ritual at hospitals across the nation: A recovered coronavirus patient exits the facility to a cheering send-off from hospital staff — a glimmer of hope in an era that has been dominated by themes of morbidity.
What happens when the cheering stops, however, doesn't always follow the same course: Sometimes it represents the closing of a horrific chapter and a return to normalcy, but other times it means a transition from inpatient care to in-home care overseen by a crew of nurses who quietly make sure those individuals continue on the path to recovery. Nurses are also called on to care for COVID-19 patients who are still showing symptoms of illness but got sent home because of overcrowded hospitals.
Countless medical professionals, including queer nurses, have risked and lost their lives in the fight against the coronavirus. Out gay Mount Sinai RN Kious Kelly, for example, died of the coronavirus in March after weeks of working without sufficient personal protective equipment.
Other LGBTQ nurses are also playing a pivotal role in the fight against the coronavirus, including outside of the hospital environment. A handful of out gay nurses with the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) spoke to Gay City News detailing their own journeys visiting the homes of more than a half dozen patients a day during the coronavirus crisis, including patients who have the virus. The nurses, equipped with cultural competency training from Advocacy & Services for LGBT Elders (SAGE), help provide care for patients and communicate with doctors to coordinate medical game plans.
"We put together a plan of care specific to each patient," said Mike Guglielmelli, an out gay registered nurse (RN) who is serving patients in Staten Island. "Every day we actually get more and more referrals for patients who are COVID-positive."
It can often take days or weeks for the most updated coronavirus numbers to be reflected in statistical breakdowns because the virus, as rapid as it moves, can take some time to show up as well as to dissipate. And nurses are also seeing an uptick in their share of coronavirus patients because those who were admitted to hospitals in previous weeks are getting discharged.
"We had some patients on ventilators for two weeks and are finally getting better," said Guglielmelli, who explained that the nurses are tasked with managing the patients' symptoms to the best of their abilities.

Diarrhea and shortness of breath are among symptoms the nurses have encountered. Some patients already had comorbidities like emphysema and therefore suffer from compromised lungs, requiring nurses to employ breathing techniques and specialized care.
"I have an 87-year-old patient who is still on oxygen," said Cidric Trinidad, an out gay RN who visits patients in the embattled Queens neighborhoods of Elmhurst and East Elmhurst, Astoria, Woodside, and Jackson Heights. Trinidad said his patient is continuing to suffer shortness of breath, coughing, and other complications.
These nurses do not just care for the patients and clock out at the end of the day. They are responsible for working with their patients' families, educating them on the patients' unique needs, and doing what is necessary to ensure a seamless transition into independence.
An important part of the work, Guglielmelli said, is successfully navigating the homes of every patient and respecting their surroundings.
"We are in their homes and this is their environment," Guglielmelli said. "So we have to adapt as humans and as clinicians to their needs and how they operate at home."
Inclusivity is another factor in the nurses' work, and while it is not always known whether a patient is a member of the LGBTQ community, many nurses make it a point to show solidarity by donning Rainbow pins and certainly respecting Rainbow Flags that are on display in patients' homes. It is not lost on them that the LGBTQ community suffered unnecessary hardships during the height of the AIDS crisis when countless individuals were neglected in healthcare settings and ignored by government and public health leaders.
Some LGBTQ nurses who worked on the frontlines of the AIDS crisis and are now in the fight against coronavirus are seeing striking similarities between the two crises.
"Unfortunately what I see is many of the same social determinants of health that were not corrected after the HIV/ AIDS epidemic," said VNSNY's LGBTQ program director, Arthur Fitting, an RN whose job entails managing the organization's approach to queer health issues and providing outreach to community partners such as SAGE, GRIOT Circle, and GMHC. Fitting cited inadequate healthcare coverage, an unprepared healthcare system, the lack of support systems for patients, and even issues impacting the medical professionals themselves, such as a shortage of personal protective equipment.
"I don't have the words to describe it," Fitting said "It's been extremely difficult."
Fitting also pointed to similarities in the government's response during both crises. The Trump administration repeatedly downplayed the coronavirus crisis from the beginning and has mishandled the response entirely, while President Ronald Reagan — who combined a harmful abstinence-only approach to sex education with a detrimental war on drugs — did not mention AIDS publicly until 1985 (and then only in response to a reporter's question) while HIV/ AIDS had already wreaked havoc on the community for four years.
Fitting described the parallels as "astounding," saying that the slow reaction times in both eras resulted in "a tremendous negative impact."
RN Arthur Fitting, VNSNY's LGBTQ program director, says there are too many parallels between the government response to the HIV/ AIDS and coronavirus crises.VNSNY
While the issues Fitting mentions are stubbornly persistent on a broader level, he said the team at VNSNY has worked to at least ensure their patients are not met with the same injustices. Not only are nurses trained in cultural competency, but VNSNY is partnering with groups from the queer community to help provide LGBTQ-specific bereavement services, and VNSNY offers its own palliative care and bereavement support.
"Not that I would ever say anybody was insensitive [in the past], but not having the cultural competency to listen, the education, and to really understand the difference in cultures makes a huge difference in holistic care," Fitting said. "How we do that is very important for the LGBTQ community."
The focus is always on the clients, but the crisis has impacted the lives of those who are fighting on the frontlines in stark fashion. Trinidad still cooks for his partner, who is a lawyer, but has slept in a separate apartment from him in order to prevent the possibility of spreading COVID-19. At times, he said, he has felt like he is the one who is sick.
Through the difficult times, however, he has reasons to keep his eyes set on the future.
"I'm getting married this year," he said.
And yet, as excited as he was in mentioning that, Trinidad quickly voiced an important public service message to everyone — a reminder that could save lives and, ultimately, determine whether anybody gets married anytime soon in the way we generally think about wedding celebrations.
"We should be wearing masks every day, and still a lot of people don't do that," he said. "I hope and wish people would be wearing them because when you cough, or when you speak, droplets will go in the air."
Trinidad concluded, "We need to be self-aware and protect each other."

NBLO was set up in 2005 at a time when the Bulgarian legal market was really starting to open up to smaller, more specialised firms. The founding NBLO partners wanted to create a law firm whose clear primary focus was on Bulgaria but which would also operate to some extent as a dual jurisdiction legal consultancy providing both Bulgarian law and UK law advice; this was succeeded by the opening of both offices in Bulgaria and London. Following Bulgaria's accession to the EU, the firm has gone from strength to strength, periodically expanding its staff numbers as well as diversifying its portfolio of practice areas.
a part of a network of advisers in a multi-jurisdictional deal.
In each of these types of work, NBLO is able to match the legal, technological, time-management, document production, commercial and communication expectations of clients and law firm partners alike.
We realise how crucial it is when giving quality legal service to understand the character and dynamics of clients' industries. In this regard, we maintain regular contacts within the Bulgarian business community and pride ourselves on being up-to-date on all international economic developments in the wider Central & Eastern Europe region.
We always make additional efforts to pinpoint our legal advice for our clients' purposes and to obviate inefficiencies where possible and this often pays off for our clients. We equally understand that our clients work within budgets and we are always keen to present a clear and transparent cost structure to them. In this respect, we will agree charges with clients at the time of instruction, and can help with the management of costs if this becomes necessary.
We make sure we can draft and conduct business in a variety of languages in addition to Bulgarian and English, the latter of which all of our staff speak by default.
We understand how effective information use impacts on our work and we consider the technological processes we have in place at our offices to be cutting-edge. We continue to strive for excellence in this area and regularly educate both support staff and fee-earners in a variety of current technologies. In addition, we have the ability to draw on an engineering support team to quickly implement any specific document exchange or technological requirements a client may request.


One of the vital steps that involve your future prospects is selection of a university. There are numerous universities across the globe, which offer admissions to students, but one needs to carefully inspect various aspects before finally deciding to apply. As the university is the place, where the student is going to invest his valuable time and energy to gain knowledge. Moreover, the more reputed the college is, the more would be the student facilities.
Student's knowledge and discretion play an essential role in choosing a university. In fact, if you look at the university websites almost all Universities have an attractive appearance. But in truth, they are a lot different. Some Universities have huge campuses spread across acres of land and some are too small to be actually called a University. But still, both Universities present an equal appeal on the web. And an unsuspecting student can easily be misled into joining a less reputed institute.
This is where our professional guidance comes to rescue. Our years of experience in the field taught us how to cull out relevant information from various sources and present you with the best possible options. We evaluate, test, reconfirm, so you don't make a wrong move. A step in the wrong direction can be irreversibly expensive in this current fast-paced lifestyle.
At Accurate Overseas Consultant (AOC) we go through the pain so you don't have to. We empower you with all relevant knowledge. Whether it's about Universities, Academic Programs, Financial Aids, and Process.you could trust us to provide nothing but the best. Our Student advisors, managerial staff, research team and the top management are ever at call to help you touch new horizons in life.


The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has experienced backlash amongst fans.
Kim Kardashian might be all about the body-positivity on Instagram but some people have argued that she might have gone a bit too far by recruiting North West to help stage one of her half-naked shoots.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is always having to fend off criticism re. her decision to share some pretty fire selfies.
This time around, a certain portion of her 107 million followers have taken issue with an image taken in her underwear that four-year-old daughter North seemingly masterminded.
While some people pointed out that there's nothing weird about North seeing her mum naked, others had some questions about the general ethics of the shot.
"This is literally weird. Like it's just weird", one person responded, while another added: "Why would you get your daughter to take a pic like this? Come on Kim ."
A third person commented that the whole scenario made them feel a bit uncomfortable: "Kim really got North taking a thirst trap of her....noooo hunny. What is you doing?
What do you make of this shot? Let us know with a tweet @MTVUK.

Q: how to (organize) the interaction between the Android UI (HTML, CSS) and native code (Java)? Good afternoon.
I hasten to add that I am new to developing for Android. I am writing a geolocation service (application).
Standard elements of the user who provides Google does not suit me. In many of the Internet once faced with information which says that you can write a user interface for Android using CSS and html.
After reading a lot of information on this topic, I realized that Most developers tend to use frameworks (PhoneGap. ..). But this approach does not suit me, for two reasons:

*

*javascript - it is used everywhere, and I do not know

*This absence of adequate (understandable) documentation or guides for frameworks.

It is for these reasons that I'm wondering whether it is possible to write the user interface using html and CSS, and all the features in Java without using frameworks.
As communication between fallback interface and native code, even with the assistance of javascript, but without the use of frameworks.
P.S. I am not good in English - I hope you have understood the point of my question. I hope for your help.

A: Normally an Android app defines UI in Android-specific XML and the code is in Java or, if really necessary, C/C++.
Probably you could use a WebView in your Android application which will display an html page from your assets directory.
Such html page can have javascript in it which will invoke some hooks in your code. It's described in the book The Busy Coder's Guide to Advanced Android Development Chapter 1, I believe

A: yes you can.
your html+css will all be in a webview and there're elements like the webview client that can communicate with what's inside the webview.
But I would like to leave you with a warning:
Every single web based app IS slower and with a poorer interface than proper native apps. Also, without the use of a framework you still will have to know a good portion of the native stuff.

Sci-fi socialism
"Science fiction routinely gets away with subversive gestures that would never be allowed in any realistic program. Thus it is that people who don't watch 'Star Trek' are probably unaware that its vision of our future is socialistic, anti-imperialist and passionately committed to expanding the list of sentient life forms who are judged to have rights. …
"I'm speaking of the post-Kirk 'Star Treks' of course. …
"The first series, which began in 1967, was an odd amalgam of manly Buck Rogers adventure, Cold War pro-Americanism and utopian social drama influenced by the civil rights movement. When 'Star Trek' was revived for TV in 1987 with 'The Next Generation,' the show's tagline was tellingly updated from 'where no man has gone before' to 'where no one has gone before.' And the changes went far beyond gender. Trek's depictions of racism and caste exclusion got acute, with a series of amazing shows about workers treated as things, and it explored torture and official violence daringly, bitingly criticizing them even as it showed our own implication in them."
Donna Minkowitz, writing on "Beam Us Back, Scotty," in the March 25 issue of the Nation
Appeasement danger
"We ought to face squarely the origins of the Palestinian descent into barbarism. In July 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak made a peace offer that stunned Israel and the world: Israel would re-divide Jerusalem would turn over large pieces of its ancient capital to the same people who had destroyed its synagogues, desecrated its cemeteries, and banned Jews from entering when they last ran the show. Arafat rejected the offer. Then in September 2000, the new wave of murderous violence began, supposedly triggered by Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount.
"In short, the Palestinian response to Israel's generous peace offer was, 'Drop dead.' How could that possibly have happened? … The 'lesson of appeasement' is not that appeasement is futile. Appeasement is not futile, it is dangerous. … Outlaws interpret an open-handed offer as weakness, not generosity. They interpret weakness as an incitement to violence."
David Gelernter, writing on "The Suicide of the Palestinians," in the March 25 issue of the Weekly Standard
NOW poster child?
"The murderous, mentally ill Andrea Yates will spend the next 40 years to life in prison. … Andrea's ultimate fate notwithstanding, mental health care advocates and women's groups are almost certain to keep caterwauling about how her experience is proof-positive of our society's horrid neglect of postpartum depression specifically, and women's mental health in general. …
"The Yates case may be an indictment of many things: the death penalty, the insanity defense, our society's willingness to let any idiot be a parent. (I refer here to the cretinous Rusty, not the deeply ill Andrea.) But it is not a sad testament to our widespread neglect of postpartum depression. And if NOW could refrain from its knee-jerk impulse to turn every tragedy involving a woman into a political cause, it might rethink the wisdom of turning Andrea into its postpartum poster child. …
"I truly feel for Andrea, who is clearly a very sick woman. (Rusty, on the other hand, deserves to have his reproductive organs fed to wild pigs.) But I'm sorry, Yates' case was not, as her defense lawyer told the jury, 'an opportunity to make a determination about the status of women's mental health.' It was, in fact, a murder trial. And it confirmed far less about our society's attitudes toward postpartum depression than it did the sad reality that some people are simply too stupid, selfish, or mentally ill to raise children."
Michelle Cottle, writing on "Case Closed," March 15 in the New Republic Online at www.tnr.com
