“As hard as the work is, “societal fatigue” is harder, said a Utah pulmonary specialist. He is tired of walking out of an ICU where COVID-19 has killed another patient, and walking into a grocery store where he hears people saying it doesn’t exist.“

A friend of mine works as a contact tracer and her husband is an ICU doctor. She told me he saw a patient who had #COVID19, and badly. After she came off of a ventilator, he asked her how she thought she got the virus.
”I don’t have COVID,” she said, “It doesn’t exist.”
”I don’t have COVID,” she said, “It doesn’t exist.”
He tried to reason with her and tell her that yes, you have #covid19. You tested positive. That’s why you were on a ventilator. He wanted to understand how she got it and how it may have spread.
But she insisted she had a heart condition. Not COVID.
