"some patients deny COVID-19 is real, even as they die from it"

From South Dakota:

Quote in article from a nurse:

I have a night off from the hospital. As I’m on my couch with my dog I can’t help but think of the Covid patients the last few days. The ones that stick out are those who still don’t believe the virus is real. The ones who scream at you for a magic medicine and that Joe Biden is going to ruin the USA. All while gasping for breath on 100% Vapotherm (a high-flow respiratory aid). They call you names and ask why you have to wear all that “stuff” because they don’t have COViD because it’s not real. Yes. This really happens. And I can’t stop thinking about it. These people really think this isn’t going to happen to them. And then they stop yelling at you when they get intubated. It’s like an [expletive] horror movie that never ends. There’s no credits that roll. You just go back and do it all over again.


This really is a death cult.

people should not be treated then. Since they don’t think they have it,don’t treat them,but don’t release them either to spread their disease. I am sure they spread it to quite a few before they landed in the hospital. THIS is what I wish, but I know nurses and doctors take their jobs very seriously and thankfully they can see their way through those patients b.s. and be professional and do their job and take care of these people. They are true heroes to put up with this abuse.
