those of you who think COVID “isn’t real” or that people who are dying from other things (i.e being shot) is being blamed on COVID are grossly incorrect. we can’t count it as COVID until there’s a positive COVID test, & do you really think we’re testing someone with a GSW?
I’m tired of watching people die from this illness & so many of you still think we’re all making it up. Why? What would anyone get out of that? It is dangerous bc it’s new to our bodies. It is latching on & attacking people in numerous ways bc we have no antibodies for it.
Do you think we enjoy having people die alone? Do you think we enjoy having to take an extra 54 precautions in our already hectic days? Hospitals are emptier bc there are no elective or routine surgeries unless deemed emergent or critical.
Joe and Brad aren’t crashing ATVs this week & breaking their arms bc they’re staying home. Debbie isn’t coming in for her routine turkey sandwich and dilaudid bc she doesn’t want to catch COVID. Betty isn’t bringing her 3 year old in for a 99.1 temp so she doesn’t expose him.
We aren’t emptier bc we’re lying. We are emptier bc we have had to cancel things to keep all of you safe. We are exhausted, mentally and physically. We don’t want people to have to be alone in the hospital, including those that are dying.
This will be over soon & my hope is that some of you realize it was all for a reason. If every action we took ends up seeming like an overreaction, then it means it worked. If we did nothing & thousands more died, you’d all blame us for not doing enough. Nobody wins in a pandemic
