I am Brooklyn, made, born and raised. When asked, I always say I& #39;m American.
But the country I love, has left me and my fellow Healthcare workers desolate, and betrayed.
I am a mother, a wife, and pregnant. And because of that betrayal to keep us safe, I am also covid +
I got lucky, my symptoms are not that bad.
I& #39;ve been cleared to go back to work tomorrow.
And because I know I won& #39;t be protected, and no one knows if once positive do I have immunity or not, I& #39;m leaving my home.
I& #39;m leaving my family behind.
Tonight will be the last night for a long time that I& #39;ll get to sing my 2yr old to sleep. He& #39;ll fall asleep in my arms, and not know that that& #39;s the last time for a very long time. I haven& #39;t touched my husband in over a week, and it will be weeks until I do again
And what hurts me the most? Is that when I go into labor, I will more than likely have to do it on my own. Again. Because people can& #39;t heed the warning of the people that know what& #39;s going on. So this fucking virus is just spreading. So to keep staff and baby safe, no one but you
Just me. My husband won& #39;t hold my hand. He won& #39;t cut the umbilical cord. He& #39;ll meet our daughter the day I go home.

All because of a betrayal from our government. I don& #39;t blame just one, I blame them all. A first word country giving us 3rd world care.
I will never feel like a proud American again...
