From my daughter, the nurse:
"I keep seeing people post how they don’t believe COVID is real. I am a nurse. My unit has been made a COVID pod. Today I sat in the shower and cried because nobody believes us. I literally sat in it and sobbed. It’s real. We are struggling. We are fighting this alone at this point because nobody takes us seriously. We are being ignored and disrespected every time we say this is getting worse and someone says “well it’s not that bad” or “it’s blown out of proportion”. And also, the people who work outpatient don’t see what it’s like either. The only people who see what it’s like are those working directly with COVID positive patients. So NONE of you can have any say on what is real or not unless you personally are dealing with it. It’s real. I wish it wasn’t but it is. And it’s draining all of us nurses. We are burning out."
