Every day my son, a doctor treating #Covid_19 patients at a major hospital in a large NE city, calls & tells us about his patients. And it’s not pretty. This is a wreckless, random, horrifying disease. It kills and it also cripples. Many who survive have lingering & maybe
...and maybe lifelong damage. Lung scarring. Blood clots. Stroke. Kidney damage. I lost an uncle, a former colleague, friends. One friend got sick in March and is still on O2. Another friend in a FL hospital for a month & lungs are still so bad he won’t be out for weeks &
...& will be on O2 for 6 months. Patients’ fingers, toes & limbs die and if they don’t fall off are amputated — or the patient dies. Drs, nurses, aides are living a nightmare. They want it to end. So when they see crowds partying & ppl refusing to wear masks &

...and when the father died from it, the son questioned the cause of death, saying it was ginned up so the hospital could make more $. (#FoxNews 101) I won’t tell you what the nurse did after that, but it was warranted. The point is: This disease is much worse than ....

...if you want to go back to work; or travel; or have a wedding or birthday party or a normal funeral; or have another medical condition addressed or even get a cosmetic treatment ... If you want to avoid horrifying phone calls reporting sickness or death .... and having ....
....having horrifying conversations with drs or nurses as your loved one slips away in a horrifying death. If you want to save my sons and son in law and your daughters and sons who work in health care from getting sick because they are risking their lives to help YOUR ....
... loved ones... Then take this seriously. Sacrifice like your grandparents did for WWII. Think of someone other than yourself. Stay home. And wear your damn mask. It’s not about politics. It’s a matter of life and death. #WearADamnMask
