As a nurse you are serving a crucial role in these uncertain times. I wish you and yours the best.
Olden it is just like when a fire strikes you anytime in every second minute of time
Keep safe hug
Sincerely hope all turns out well. There is a long path to travel. Provided immunity is almost certain, there is a hidden blessing in having had a mild case, as is highly likely for, you should it occur.
Oh, and btw, since it has intrigued me, the only Christmas Island I know is Australian territory way out in the Indian Ocean. Is there one in Newark too?
VivianLee posted that she knew two people to have had the virus, but no other family member living with them has shown any signs of symptoms.

It seems exposure doesn't automatically mean infection.

Infection doesn't automatically mean you're going to have a tough time, most people don't.

You're young, you're sleek, you're a brave front line worker.

Do some mighty panther roaring in front of the mirror (and then post us video footage). giggle
I know it is scary but all we can do is take precautions. Thank you profusely for your service on the front lines.
I agree with Fay on this issue.

By the way, "SOB" in the blog refers to shortness of breath.
She was not nastily referring to the patient. scold laugh
Complete PPE

To what degree?
Mask, gloves, gown, goggles or full face shield. Anything else?
Did you dispose of everything after you left the patient?
Thankyou for clarifying that, Jim.

It did seem a bit out of character for Ysabeljhen, even as a coping strategy in extraordinary circumstances. laugh
Hopefully ysabel things/you will be just fine and long may you remain so .... comfort

For the work you do on the front line I salute you tip hat

All the best teddybear

Most everyone has that prognosis, what condition is your condition in? I'm waiting for Biden's booster shot, sounds like the military will be forced to comply by DEC.15
