For those who have an ear: I spoke this morning with a nurse at one of Jamaica's major hospitals. She detailed an emotional encounter last night when a patient almost passed out. The patient was saved only because another died and so she was able to use her oxygen.

"Everybody exposed," the nurse told me. "Everybody mix up... positive, negative and suspected."
Nurse: Every single ward is housing COVID patients. How things going now with the lack of beds and oxygen we basically just have to wait until someone dies to get the bed or the oxygen for another patient.
Pray to God no one for you gets admitted now because it is spreading on the wards too, the nurse said.
And then she warns: anyone you know, just beg them to stay in. Fullstop.
