Keep safe
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).
By the way, "SOB" in the blog refers to shortness of breath.
She was not nastily referring to the patient.
To what degree?
Mask, gloves, gown, goggles or full face shield. Anything else?
Did you dispose of everything after you left the patient?
It did seem a bit out of character for Ysabeljhen, even as a coping strategy in extraordinary circumstances.
For the work you do on the front line I salute you
All the best
Let's pray that you remain healthy and provide good care to those who need it most.
Happy Palm Sunday. God bless.
Appreciate your commitment and service.
You deserve that appreciation more than ever.
Take care.
take care out there in your work, and off work too.
Wish you the best everyday.
God bless you.................jenny
