My life for last 12 hours:
1. Watching patients I have known for years suffocate on high flow oxygen.
2. Notifying family that their loved one is gone.
3. Talking to #medicalExaminer after each death.
4. Feeling all hope slowly die inside of me...
5. Dealing with reporters driving through the parking lot and asking questions. Taking pictures.
6. Reassuring our staff we are doing everything we can for these patients.

7. Helping provide post-mortem care and making sure the staff don't infect themselves.
8. Placing patients in 2 body bags after they succumb to #coronavirus - the ME wants the patients placed in two.
9. Not being able to take a break or lunch because its chaos and people are scared after seeing so much death.
10. Getting home and being exhausted, only to sleep a few hours and go right back.

11. Coming home & my husband wants to argue over stupid things, things that don’t matter, and my brain is just tired.
