I am about to lose my shit very soon I think. My wife is a healthcare provider at a community health center. This is the front line - sick patients show up here and if they show the relevant symptoms, they can be sent to the hospital. My wife and others are reusing N95 masks due to lack of availability. They have a handful of test kits available. Even among the providers only those with serious symptoms have been tested. My wife has not been tested yet. US response to this outbreak is pathetic at best. At the very least the providers should be protected as much as possible. This is akin to sending our troops into a war zone with no armor or ammunition.
Every day my wife comes back from work, my stress level is super high. There is a general background stress all the time. I feel like I am looking for confrontation, some outlet for this.
I've already almost resigned to us getting infected. All I can hope for is that our symptoms don't get bad enough to need hospitalization.
ICUs are even worse:
