Speechless. An Italian Dr fighting #covid19 has written a letter to the world. I've linked a translation.
"There are no more shifts, schedules Social life is suspended. Doctors move beds... Nurses with tears in their eyes because we can't save everyone" bit.ly/2wJ5QzH

"Well, the situation is now nothing short of dramatic. No other words come to mind. The war has literally exploded and the battles are uninterrupted day and night.... "
"They have anything but the complications of a flu. Let's stop saying it's a bad flu. "
"The cases multiply, we arrive at the rate of 15-20 hospitalizations a day all for the same reason. The results of the swabs now come one after the other: positive, positive, positive. Suddenly the emergency room is collapsing....help is needed in the emergency room. "
"The screen of the PC with the reasons for access is always the same: fever and difficulty breathing, fever and cough, respiratory failure etc ... The exams, radiology always with the same sentence: bilateral interstitial pneumonia. "
"I understand the need not to panic, but when the message of the danger of what is happening does not reach people... and people who gather together complaining that they cannot go to the gym or be able to play tournaments, soccer, I shiver. "
"And while there are still people on social networks who pride themselves on not being afraid by ignoring the indications, protesting that their normal lifestyle habits are "temporarily" in crisis, the epidemiological disaster is taking place"
"voluntarily I see neither my son nor my family members for fear of infecting them and in turn infecting an elderly grandmother or relatives with other health problems. I'm happy with some photos of my son that I regard between tears and a few video calls. "
"Oh yes, thanks to the shortage of certain devices, I and many other colleagues are certainly exposed despite all the means of protection we have. Some of us have already become infected despite protocols"
"In the end we only try to make ourselves useful for everyone....with our actions we influence the life and death of a few dozen people. Please share and share the message. We need to spread the word to prevent what is happening here from happening all over Italy."
I don't really know what to say after reading this.
People, please ask our government to listen to experts, and support nurses and doctors. We will fight for you.
