Today let us pray, say mantras,
Usher happiness, warm wishes
To everyone, not just family
We are all in this together
Please stay safe as we all tackle this monster breathing fire at us
We are unprepared for something this strong and so unprecedented.
Something that has no care for who it takes. Who lives and who dies. It knows no race, age or gender
Please have mercy on us all
Set selfishness aside for right now and look for things we can do
While making sure we do it safely
And please remember: we wear masks to protect others from us
And others wear masks to protect us.
I have worked my whole career dealing with isolated patients.
Even then family can visit them at bedside if they wear a disposable mask and disposable gown.
This scares the bejeezus out of me.
Keep informed. Stay safe.
We may never see another pandemic like this in our lifetime.
I am a lung specialist. I have watched movies where this was eerily plotted.
