Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
That's appalling! Especially given that she's front line medical staff. I hope she turns out OK and my thoughts are with her.
Thanks FD, fortunately after 5 days her fever is gone and she is feeling better. But because of the difficulty to get tested, she has no idea if it was COVID - 19 or some other bug. Unfortunately, the administrators at the hospital where she works at pretty slimy people. Since the start of the pandemic they have done all they could to withhold PPE even when it clearly violated the established procedures for working with infectious patients. When an employee does get infected, they try and withhold workers compensation benefits saying they can't prove they got infected at the hospital.
To be honest she is dreading going back to work on the 8th. In the last two weeks the hospitalizations have jumped from 56 to 121 COVID patients. ICU is @ 70% full. With the spiking cases in our area these may be going up significantly in the next couple of weeks.
Please everyone do all the health care workers a favor and wear a mask. They have to wear one 12hrs a day while working, surely you can handle wearing one for and hour while your shopping.
Sorry for preaching (not really) lol
