My brother is an ER doc in a well-known facility, and he says this covid thing is freaking the everliving shit out of the front-line medical profession. This virus is just not behaving like a normal disease should.
The doctors who have been around long enough say that the feeling in the hospitals is just like the early days of AIDS. All you knew is that patients were dying from a disease that doesn't follow any of the normal rules, and nobody's sure why, and all the healthcare workers are nervous AF that they're going to get it too, but everyone is trying to be brave because the patients and family are scared out of their minds, and calm needs to start somewhere, right?
Interesting thing is ignore influenza and compare with other pandemic viral diseases. A lot of them are similar in that they can but not always involve multiple organs and result all sorts of complicated disease courses in a high percentage of patients.
