    On the one hand you’re 1000% right but man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID, I probably would’ve been close to snapping 24/7.

      May I tell you the story of my wife, a doctor, who send us to her parents in lockdown, worked her ass of in full protection a couple of hundred kilometers south, seeing our two little kids only at the weekends, if there were absolutely no symptoms and she didn’t have a shift the day before, for month? When she didn’t not have to work, she sat alone in our flat contemplating on the newly dead people who where to young to die.

      Wearing a fucking mask was not the part that sucked during lockdown.

          I know. It was more a post covidal rant at the nurses. Even if you are at your limit those masks are self protection.

            Yeah for sure, it must’ve been that much more frustrating for the nurses that understood the importance of PPE having to work with ones that didn’t.

      Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid

      this instance was just particularly memorable.
