"From a nurse in South Dakota:
"I have a night off from the hospital. As Im on my couch with my dog I cant help but think of the Covid patients the last few days. The ones that stick out are those who still dont believe the virus is real. The ones who scream at you for a magic medicine and that Joe Biden is going to ruin the USA. All while gasping for breath on 100% Vapotherm. They tell you there must be another reason they are sick. They call you names and ask why you have to wear all that stuff because they dont have COViD because its not real. Yes. This really happens. And I cant stop thinking about it. These people really think this isnt going to happen to them. And then they stop yelling at you when they get intubated. Its like a fucking horror movie that never ends. Theres no credits that roll. You just go back and do it all over again."
"Which is what I will do for the next three nights. But tonight. Its me and Cliff and Oreo ice cream. And how ironic I have on my home
Hoodie. The South Dakota I love seems far away right now."
