Ladies and gentlemen of the Twitterverse. I am an emergency physician. COVID has not hit where I live yet, but it is coming. Because of people needlessly hoarding N-95 masks, my ER has 2 boxes, with no estimate as to refill date. I will be literally covered in virus. 1/
We are the only ER in a small city. The virus is highly transmissible. If my partners and I go down, we will be unable to care for patients for 2 weeks. There is no backup. There is no plan to be made to replace us if more than 1 go down at a time. 2/
Care of heart attacks, delayed. Care of your momma’s pneumonia,delayed. People will suffer, I will have 2 weeks off with a bad cold, unable to help. Give us our fucking PPE back. If you’ve hoarded masks, donate them to your local ER. They will not help you. 3/
But they make keep your frontline healthcare workers in the game to keep you and your family breathing, should you fall ill. Give them up. Now. ~ fin
