Hey Mohammed I was wondering if you have any details of this - like were these people already at risk with previous health issues, older folks, etc.
I don't know if I really want to know. I am a respiratory therapist - my specialty is the mechanical ventilators and intubation procedure and any breathing emergency - on Long Island and having been doing this for over 20 years so I've been through a few hard core flu seasons and I have a sense for how bad this is going to get but I don't think I can really know - reading the NYT article about Italy and being able to imagine from personal experience exactly what they are describing I am realizing this is going to be a once a career level event. We are already being told there are shortages of protective equipment and there are only a few suspected and one confirmed case in both the hospitals I work in. They keep changing the policy about what we 'need' based on their desire to hold back on supplies. It's been really disheartening how people are so ready to steal supplies from us. I'll say here what I can't say anywhere around my family - I'm really worried. Not so much about my personal safety - though Mohammed's remark is disturbing - I have a strong immune system and everyone in my household is young - but being immersed in this level of tragedy is soul crushing once the adrenaline wears off. Be safe all. > There is a tough situation.
