I am Brooklyn, made, born and raised. When asked, I always say I'm American.
But the country I love, has left me and my fellow Healthcare workers desolate, and betrayed.
I am a mother, a wife, and pregnant. And because of that betrayal to keep us safe, I am also covid +
I got lucky, my symptoms are not that bad.
I've been cleared to go back to work tomorrow.
And because I know I won't be protected, and no one knows if once positive do I have immunity or not, I'm leaving my home.
I'm leaving my family behind.
Tonight will be the last night for a long time that I'll get to sing my 2yr old to sleep. He'll fall asleep in my arms, and not know that that's the last time for a very long time. I haven't touched my husband in over a week, and it will be weeks until I do again
And what hurts me the most? Is that when I go into labor, I will more than likely have to do it on my own. Again. Because people can't heed the warning of the people that know what's going on. So this fucking virus is just spreading. So to keep staff and baby safe, no one but you
Just me. My husband won't hold my hand. He won't cut the umbilical cord. He'll meet our daughter the day I go home.

All because of a betrayal from our government. I don't blame just one, I blame them all. A first word country giving us 3rd world care.
I will never feel like a proud American again...
