Running an ICU at this capacity for this long with patients sick with something nasty you can catch and take home really takes a toll. While it is intense dealing with heart attack, cancer and stroke patients in an ICU, that is not even close to the psychological and emotional drain treating Covid patients must cause. God bless the caregivers and the support staff!!!!
