Marshfield Clinic nurse describes the dire situation the hospital is in.....

Marshfield Clinic nurses are in tears caring for COVID-19 patients. Their N95 masks drip with sweat. They wonder how long they can keep up!

Side note: I was a childcare provider at a facility strictly for the doctors, nurses and staff of this hospital. They are all dedicated and literally putting their lives and their families lives on the line. The mindset in that area is very cultish.

Near Marshfield. They hold hands of those near death only to turn their backs and the patient is gone. They go home hug their kids and head back for more. There is no bright spot, little hope, and under the horror of Republican rule fear reigns. It is a sad act, a level Dante hadn't found.
