Now, let me explain what I mean. I am an ICU nurse and I have been in the"front lines" during the worst of the pandemic, first as a nurse manager in elderly homes, and later in Intensive Care Units.
Thing is... I cannot really express how terrifying this disease can be. I have seen young, healthy people dying and not being able to do anything for them. I have seen people that did everything right get the disease and end up under my care for months. Problem is that, no matter how hard I try, if you don't have a basic knowledge of intensive health care, you cannot really make your mind around what the word"critical" actually means.
But then, even so, it is not enough, and you cannot properly oxygenate. So we do"prone" you, that means you be turned upside-down on the bed. But after about 24 hours we need to turn you back again on your back, because being on that position for so long can cause harm. But half an hour after turning you on your back, your blood tests show that you are not breathing properly again, and then we have to prone you again.Add to that that your family cannot get close to you.
Did you get a mental image of what all this is? Let me tell you, that is about a 20% of what the word"critical" actually means when we talk about COVID.
The first thing is covid lmao. I've had covid 2 times. both times i had body aches for 12 hours then was fine. No vaccine 🤯
