Not that Xanax will read this, but it’s worth giving it a shot:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest ... night_was/
Working at a hospital in a Midwestern US town. Had more COVID patients last night than I've seen since last spring. Black means air on x-rays and I saw multiple 30-somethings whose lungs were nearly solid white. They were in critical condition...those who weren't talking about how cold they were, on ventilators & couldn't talk at all. Just a few years older than me and still dying from this crap that people say isn't real. I SEE their lungs. I take the damned PICTURES goddammit. I've watched some of them die. The vaccines might be out & helping but this crap is making a resurgence. Get your damned shots, I don't want to x-ray your lungs and see this...nobody should ever see this. Even the damned radiologists tell me it's different from pneumonia, it's a completely new phenomenon. This is some scary crap. I'm so damned traumatized and I'm not even the nurse who holds their hand on their way out of this world. I have no congruent words, I am just crying. This was all such damned BS. Please stay safe.....“F”.
Edit: For clarification, these were mostly patients with persistent and/or worsening symptoms who had been admitted, though I have seen some just as awful during their first ER visit. Please only consult medical professionals for advice and not strangers on the internet. Thank you for all the encouragement.

Their death rate has been skyrocketing for weeks and experts suspect the actual death toll is much, much higher because Brazil doesn't have the capacity to test everyone.
doubtful. Everyone Ajax knows has tested positive and they're all okay.

Ajax's friends are perfectly fine so what she's seeing must be something else.

I heard that folks are only dying in order to make Trump look bad.

Folks dying doesn't make him look as bad as Trump living.

Yes, few things are sadder to me than that despite the fact that almost nothing discredits Trump more than his own words and actions, his loyal base still can't see or admit how corrupt, ignorant, toxic and dangerous he is to our democracy.
