SIXTIES AND FIFTIES, GETTING
COOLER BUT FEELING NICE OVER
AMERICAN PARK FOR TONIGHT’S
BASEBALL GAME. MORE ON THOSE
HIGHER TEMPERATURES FOR THIS
WEEK COMING UP AS THE FIGHTING
ESCALATES IN UKRAINE. RUSSIAN
PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS
TRYING TO JUSTIFY THE WAR. HE
DID IT DURING HIS SPEECH ON
VICTORY DAY WITH THE MILITARY
PARADE AS HIS BACKDROP. VICTORY
DAY CELEBRATES THE SOVIET
UNION’S WORLD WAR TO DEFEAT OF
GERMANY. TODAY PUTIN DID NOT
DECLARE VICTORY IN UKRAINE. NOR
DID HE HINT AT WHERE THE WAR IS
HEADED. NEXT THE U. S IS
PREPARING TO SEND MORE AID
PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED A LAW
MAKING IT EASIER FOR THE US TO
LEND OR LEASE MILITARY
EQUIPMENT. TO UKRAINE. ALL RIGHT
NOW TO THIS MYSTERIOUS DEATHS OF
THREE AMERICANS AND A POPULAR
FIVE STAR RESORT IN THE BAHAMAS
. A SHORT TIME AGO,
INVESTIGATORS ANNOUNCED WHO THEY
ARE, BUT THEY’RE STILL NOT SURE
HOW THEY DIED. DEVIN SCILLIAN
FOLLOWING THE LATEST
DEVELOPMENTS IN DEVON. POLICE
ARE TRYING TO PUT THIS
INVESTIGATION ON THE FAST TRACK
, RIGHT, KAREN SUCH A MYSTERY AT
THIS POINT. AUTOPSIES ON THE
VICTIMS ARE BEING PERFORMED
TODAY AND SAMPLES BEING
COLLECTED FROM THE ROOMS AT THE
SANDALS RESORT ON GREAT EXUMA
TOXICOLOGY WILL BE SENT TO A LAB
AND PHILADELPHIA WITH THE HOPE
OF GETTING THOSE RESULTS BACK AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. TO GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF THIS HUSBAND AND
WIFE IN THEIR SIXTIES FROM
TENNESSEE. BOTH DIED, AS DID A
MAN IN HIS SIXTIES FROM FLORIDA
. HIS WIFE WAS AIRLIFTED TO A
HOSPITAL IN MIAMI. SHE’S IN FAIR
CONDITION. NOW WITNESSES SAY
THAT WOMAN WOKE UP FEELING
PARALYZED, AND TWO OTHERS
COMPLAINED ABOUT NAUSEA AND
DIZZINESS. BOTH COUPLES WERE
FOUND IN THEIR VILLAS. THE CHIEF
OF THE ROYAL BAHAMAS. POLICE
FORCE SAYS THEY’RE INVESTIGATING
ALL POSSIBILITIES, INCLUDING
WHETHER THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE
WATER HEATER, THE AIR
CONDITIONER PROPANE SUPPLY. ALL
FOUR PEOPLE WENT TO A DOCTOR
BEFORE THEY DIED. THEY WERE. ALL
TREATED A DIFFERENT TIMES. AND.
THE EIGHT DIFFERENT, UH
DIFFERENT PLACES. SO THAT’S WHY
WE’RE NOT, BUT WELL, WE’RE
CHECKING ALL OF THAT WHICH WE
WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS
SOME FOOD OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT
THAT CAUSED IT. THERE IS NO SIGN
OF FOUL PLAY. THE RESORT IS
STILL OPEN. THE STATE DEPARTMENT
MONITORING THE SITUATION WILL
STAY ON TOP OF IT, TOO, BUT
REALLY CONFOUNDING THE LATEST
COMING UP HERE AT FIVE. KAREN
BACK TO YOU MYSTERIOUS. ALL
RIGHT. THANK YOU, DEVIN. THEIR
WORK HAS BEEN REALLY CRITICAL TO
GET US THROUGH THE PANDEMIC, AND
TODAY A VERY SPECIAL EVENT
KICKED OFF. NURSES WEEK AT HENRY
FORD WIND ISLAND IS CALLED THE
BLESSING OF THE HANDS. POLITIKEN
JOINS US LIVE WITH MY THESE
NURSES FEEL LIKE THIS CEREMONY
IS SO IMPORTANT TO THEIR WORK,
ESPECIALLY NOW, PAULA HI, KAREN
. YEAH. HI HI, EVERYBODY. FIRST
OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO POINT
YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS. I DON’T
KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE
WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN STARTED IN
THOSE EARLY DAYS OF COVID, AND
WE WERE REALLY TOUTING OUR
HEALTHCARE HEROES. I DO WANT TO
POINT OUT THAT THE BLESSING OF
THE HANDS IS NOT A NEW CEREMONY,
BUT THERE’S CERTAINLY NEW
REASONS TO DO IT, PARTICULARLY
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW WE
WORSHIP OUR HEALTHCARE HEROES IN
SOME OF THAT IS REALLY SHIFTED.
WE HAVE A BLESSING OF HANDS
BECAUSE SO MUCH OF WHAT WE DO IN
HEALTHCARE IS DONE WITH OUR
HANDS. ASK ANY NURSE WHY SHE OR
HE WANTED TO BE A PART OF THE
CEREMONY OF THE BLESSING OF THE
HANDS THAT HEAL. AND HE OR SHE
WILL TELL YOU IT WAS TO ASK FOR
JUST A LITTLE ADDITIONAL HELP,
SPIRITUALLY. GOD WE ASK YOU TO
BLESS YOUR HANDS. I WANTED TO DO
THIS BECAUSE IT’S BEEN SUCH A
ROUGH. TWO YEARS GOING THROUGH
THE PANDEMIC. ON THE UPS AND
DOWNS TODAY IN THE COURTYARD OF
HENRY FORD HEALTH WYANDOTTE WITH
ANOINTED OILS FROM IRELAND, THE
HANDS THAT TOUCH AND HEAL WERE
BLESSED. AMEN AND ICU. NURSE
LOVE, MERCY AND KINDNESS TO
THOSE WHO MISSED IT WAS HARD.
THAT’S THE BEST WAY. IT’S HARD
TO EXPLAIN. IT’S HARD TO PUT
INTO WORDS UNLESS YOU WERE
THERE. AND YOU KNOW YOU WERE
ACTUALLY ABLE TO SEE IT. IT WAS
IT WAS HARD BECAUSE HE IS AND
FEATURE IN ACTION NOW AND ALL
THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. AS A
NURSE, MY EYES AND MY HANDS HAVE
EXPERIENCED SO MUCH THERE IS
VERY HARD TO FATHOM. UM BUT I
HAVE TO REMAIN HUMBLE AND
REFLECT ON WHAT I DO HAVE MOST
OF US TRY NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
WE TRY TO GET THROUGH IT. YOU
KNOW, WE TRY TO STAY POSITIVE
AND IT’S JUST HARD TO TALK
ABOUT. KAREN REMEMBERS THOSE
EARLY DAYS EARLY ON, THERE WAS A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PUBLIC
SUPPORT WOULD HAVE FOOD TRUCKS
OUT THERE. PEOPLE WERE
DELIVERING FOOD AND GIFTS TO
EMPLOYEES. A LOT OF LOCAL
ESTABLISHMENTS WOULD GIVE
DISCOUNTS FOR EMPLOYEES. THERE
WAS A LOT OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT,
BUT THERE’S BEEN A SHIFT, AND
FOR MANY NURSES, IT’S PALPABLE
WITH THE POLITICIZING OF THE
COVID VIRUS AND EVERYTHING THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BEAT IT BACK
AS WELL AS JUST PLAYING COVID
FATIGUE TODAY, HENRY FORD HEALTH
ACKNOWLEDGED IN A STATEMENT. WE
HAVE SEEN INCIDENTS INVOLVING
PATIENTS OR VISITORS BECOMING
VIOLENT, OFTEN IN RESPONSE TO
SAFETY MEASURES LIKE MASKING AND
VISITATION POLICIES, AND AS WE
SHIFT FROM PANDEMIC TO ENDEMIC,
THE TALENTED HANDS THAT TOUCH
AND HEAL AND HELP ARE STILL VERY
BUSY AND ARE IN NEED OF SOME
HEALING THEMSELVES. TODAY, AT
LEAST FOR SOME IT MET ENERGY TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH PEACE. TODAY
IS MY NEW START. WHEN I GO BACK
INSIDE THOSE DOORS AND TO MY
UNIT AND INTO MY OFFICE, IT’S A
BRAND NEW TIME FOR ME, LIKE
STRONGER LIKE HERE’S LIKE WHOA,
LIKE, LET’S DO THIS. IT’S LIKE A
RECHARGE, YOU KNOW, LIKE A RE
AMP. OH MY GOSH. JUST SEEING HER
REACTION ALONE IS WORTH THE
PRICE OF ADMISSION. KAREN THIS
IS A GREAT REMINDER BECAUSE
THERE’S A LOT GOING ON IN
HOSPITALS. WE DON’T SEE THIS IS
A GREAT REMINDER. THIS IS NOT A
HOBBY. FOR THESE FOLKS, THIS IS
THEIR PROFESSION. THEY DO IT
WITH LOVE. THEY DO IT WITH
COMPASSION, COMPASSION. RATHER
THEY DO IT WITH SKILL AND JUST
GIVING THEM SOMETHING. SOMETHING
THAT SAYS, HEY, WE APPRECIATE
YOU THAT’S THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT
WORTH IT, KAREN APPRECIATE AND
SO RESPECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH,
PAULA. WE APPRECIATE IT. PLAYERS
MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO PLAY TWICE
TODAY. WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES
SUDDENLY CHANGED THE GAME’S
ORIGINAL ANSWER. A MASSIVE
WILDFIRES THREATEN HISTORIC
HOMES AND BUILDINGS IN THE
SOUTHWEST. WHY IS NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE FOR FIREFIGHTERS TO
GET THE UPPER HAND RIGHT NOW?
BUT FIRST A PLAN TO BRIDGE THE
DIGITAL DIVIDE MILLIONS OF
FAMILIES CAN NOW GET HIGH SPEED
