seeing all these conspiracy theories about how covid is a lie & quarantine should be canceled makes me angry beyond belief. like do you want my job? do you want to SEE what this is doing to people? cause i& #39;ve seen it first hand & i WISH i had the naivety you do

i have a pt w/ covid on hospice right now. i had him last week and he was completely alert and oriented, now he can& #39;t even hold the button for his morphine drip. he hasn& #39;t peed in 24 hours cause his kidneys are shutting down. i go back in 10 hours & idk that he& #39;s gonna be there
i got another admit last night (2, actually) with covid. his oxygen level dropped to 65% in the 2 minutes he had his O2 mask off cause he threw up in it. even with 25L O2, he was still only at about 80%. for reference, it should be 92-100% O2 & the starting oxygen rate is 2L/min
there& #39;s a code blue called nearly every night i work now. and even when there aren& #39;t codes called, i still know people are dying, they& #39;re just DNR so no code is being called. my hospital is averaging about 4 deaths/day (we& #39;re not a huge hospital. before it was *maybe* 1/day)
people are dying. i am ACTIVELY WATCHING people die, and i can not do anything to save them. stay the fuck home. this is not a joke.
