Very difficult to watch. There is so much stress, fear, anxiety, and fatigue.

So many of our healthcare providers need a rest, other workers to spell them. Otherwise, the system will break down because the people themselves will fall apart from overwork and the grim overload of dying patients.

This is really hard to watch because people choose these careers to help people, to do good. Demoralizing situation for all of them.

I feel so bad for her. And everyone in her profession. I can't imagine what stress they are under. We all need to do everything we can to ease their burden by staying inside. I hope this ends soon for their sake. For everyone's sake.
