Yeah fitting right now. So this happend yesterday. My company still wants us to let people in with mask and distance. Yesterday one dude was in, I gave him the normal consultation and in the middle of the conversation, after telling me he does not believe in corona, he said "can we hurry up a bit? I should be in quarantine right now. I had contact with a corona patient" I honestly didn't know what to say. I was taken by surprise. But since we were at the end of our conversation I just politely ended the conversation and let him out. He told me: "don't worry I tell you when I got corona" When I called my boss afterwards, he said I should continue work and not worry about it. All of my coworkers are super mad at the dude now and one is gonna call later and ask if he got the test results.
Update: My other boss overruled the decision and I am in home office right now. I am now waiting for the permission to give out his information, so I can report him.
My father is a CNA in Iowa in a nursing home. We had a short talk today. He has lost 15..yes FIFTEEN of his residents over the last few months. As well as telling me my sister (whom I have no contact with) is in the hospital with COVID and pneumonia. She fits the high risk category for various reasons. He was calling to check in with me, to see how I was doing.
I could hear the exhaustion, defeat, and sadness in his voice. This is a man I know nothing but kindness from. Where I know I got my loving nature from. It was the hardest god damn thing to hear and not be able to do anything about.
So FUCK all these people who refuse to wear a mask and spew false stuff. Im done with all of them.
I am a CCU nurse who worked the covid floor of our hospital on and off for three months. I contracted the virus two weeks ago and yesterday discovered I have a pulmonary embolism. I'm 14 days in, struggling to breathe and struggling to stay alive. This is all anecdotal, I'm a nobody on the internet but I beg you please wear your mask, please follow the guidelines. For what it is worth i began to feel fine but yesterday morning had some chest pain and spiked a fever. My HR was in the 140s and I my O2 in the high 80s by the time the ambulance got me I had dropped to 77%. I felt like I was suffocating and was powerless. I'm in my 30s, I work out and have no comorbidities. I'm responding to meds but I had a 40 year old patient die a few weeks ago so I've seen first hand what can happen and now I'm living and potentially dying in my own hellish reality. Again, you don't have to believe me I'm a nobody on the internets and this comment will be lost but I beg you please do what's right. If you don't wear your mask, don't follow the guidelines you are the reason me and 11 million in this country are sick and why a quarter of a million are dead. I don't want to die. I'm alone and I just want to see my wife and kids. Im suffocating and I'm scared and it could have been prevented.
