Two years ago I was putting on scrubs ready for my first shift in a Covid Admissions Ward. I was eager to help however I could. Little did I know within five weeks I would become unwell, leading to a debilitating chronic illness which has no cure. 1/ It has been an extremely high price to pay. And yet still my colleagues are sent to work in the same environment with only surgical masks and plastic aprons. How many more will suffer due to covid? Why have we not learned and adapted? This virus is airborne! 2/
