A nurse from the Life Care Center of Kirkland, Washington, tells of the war-like struggles as it became the epicenter of the first coronavirus outbreak inside the US. CNN's Sara Sidner reports. #CNN #News
Nurse describes ‘battlefield’ inside US coronavirus epicenter
And to think this Virus is only just STARTING to get warmed up! 🤔
@Ro H stimulus must go with guarantees of certain targets to happen. Re-employment of workers. It must target SME…not bail out corporations.
If there is one thing that is evident it is that the USA relying on a service type economy makes for a fragile economy.
This economy needs to retool itself.
Yes I know about the economy…thank you!
@Murchadh * was that the fake woman who was really just a bunch of Russian operatives?
@Brendo Xd drop a link if not 100 percent bullshit!!
@LOOK UP: 21 Quotes by Margaret Sanger don’t you have a pizzaria to shoot at, comrade
@Bear Bear you yeah allot, comrade
These people are the real heroes. Pray for them!
Your prayers are useless
@Obi Dark lol yess!!! This is a common thing. These sheeple will listen to Whatever bullshit you feed them

Stop praying, start thinking
President needs to the job and get supplies at every hospital not lie about it. See when someone is not fit for the job is in charge. People die so sad.He knew in Jan and said it’s a hoax now he is writing letters to NK for advice wtf Kim probably started it with the Christmas present he talked about in Dec. Dumb as a wall President.

@{ Imafishfreak } we i guess POtuS#45 should propose a stimulus plan to stop the “dems hoax”..after all..according to POtuS#45 only ten people died right?
@fishfreak . .you’ve polished too many POtuS#45 turds..the orange clown let this shitstorm get out of control and its the dems fault?? Smdh
@uncle Ricky that means she can put a bill/package together..unlike POtuS#45 who writes his b.s with a giant sharpie like there would be for a “more money ” package for the rich. What you turd polishers try to ignore is who’s reponsible for this shitstorm. And is leaving it up to the states. The world is scratching their collective heads at the orange fool
While Trump was busy golfing and telling us that “15 will soon be zero” he should have been ordering the manufacture of tests, masks, ventilators, etc. That’s what a good president would have done instead of convincing people to not take life saving measures to protect themselves. #TrumpCultSyndrome made it worse
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_respiratory_syndrome-related_coronavirus it started in 2012
bobmatzke The Democrats sold out American medical manufacturing to China. So there was few or none American companies to order from. This is the pro China Democrats fault.
@LOOK UP: 21 Quotes by Margaret Sanger yeah travel restrictions for 1 country. People travel all over the world, someone coming in from Australia doesn’t mean they weren’t in China a week before. It was a travel restriction for China only and it was more of a suggestion it wasn’t a full on ban. What had he done after that? Nothing. That was 2 months ago. Btw, trump was affiliated with child molester Jeff Epstein. In fact they were both accused of raping a 14 yr old. They were friends for years. Spare me your sanctimonious bullshit and get over yourself.
@LOOK UP: 21 Quotes by Margaret Sanger democrats have a limited vocabulary? that is hilarious. your leader has the most pathetic vocabulary than any adult I’ve ever heard. Even George Bush was more literate than trump, and that doesn’t say much.
At my hospital we have almost run out of N95 masks, but we still carry on. We just had our first Covid death. It will get worse. Please stay home if you can and if not, practice frequent hand washing.
@tina7777 When his own expert scientist correct him … he should hush up.
@shell c I’m in no way defending his idiotic twitter rants, let alone his general persona. Just stating the experiments have shown results, and trials are on the way. He’s not the only one talking about this, there have been other sources aswell.
@KxMxAxN the man is in Canada
@Johnny Starr The bill of rights in the constitution is liberalism. This country is a Liberal Democracy, formed in a liberal revolution. Hating liberalism is hating this country. Trump is limiting testing because he want the numbers low, but doesn’t care how many people that kills. Is Trump a ‘liberal’?
With socialism you get tested and it doesn’t cost you anything. healthcare for all actually costs less.
@Abram Carroll You are so far gone. Theres no hope. Thank GOD I don’t need the gov to hold my hand and tell me how to live. YOU ARE A NUT CASE!!!
I was the Director of Nursing at a long-term care facility, and saw how easily infection could spread, even when we were all very careful, but the worst we saw was c-diff; lots of pooping, but no deaths. I can’t even imagine what it must have been like in their facility.
I wish everyone well, and can’t wait until we see the end of this nightmare virus. ✌️💜😷
@Gerard Edgar welcome to Socialism and Communism death squad
Your post really got me thinking about my grandfather…My grandfather recently passed late January 2020. My grandfather b-day was this pass Saturday, he would be 90 to date….However, prior to his passing my grandfather was in nursing home and he had c-diff, and was also having convulsions. Long story short, the more information I gathered on Coronavirus, I started to suspect maybe. My grandfather went to the hospital then to the nursing home, all the places were you can possibly become exposed. I live in Illinois so people weren’t really taking the virus serious then…🥺
@Carlos Oscar Garcia Aguirre Your right…Socialim and Communism KILLS anyone for Power and Control and Greed
Folks that are not in medicine have no idea, it almost if you breath you caught it
a runny nose is not a symptom. It is a dry cough. it is a headache in temples. a fever. trouble breathing. no sore throat. some suffer diarrhea. you do have gunk coming out of eyes. it leads to viral pneumonia. the immune system attacks infected lung cells then healthy lung cells. this irritation causes lungs to fill with fluid. your lung function is reduced. you do not pass enough oxygen to your body. This is when hospital treatment is needed. You need oxygen. worst cases need a ventilator. most have mild symptoms stay at home self isolate do not go to doctors do not go to hospital. Testing does nothing. No treatment exists. All a hospital can do is keep you alive and keep enough oxygen in your body to let your immune system fight it. stay at home your are infectious for weeks before ands weeks after symptoms. do not visit elderly do not visit people with underlying health conditions. leave groceries or medicine on the doorstep. Stay at home all hospitals will shortly be overwhelmed and they can do nothing for you except give oxygen if you cannot breath. tightness and shortness of breath is normal. ring an ambulance if you are really struggling to breath only. They will test your oxygen levels in blood and send you home if they are not very low. Do not kill others and waste doctors and nurses time. STAY AT HOME.
2020 is such a terrible year
@sandpiperr At least Kobe’s death was real.
Why ?
I wasn’t a fan before this. And it’s only March.
So is red eye a symptom to Covid-19?
@Gabrielle Ann The cough and the fever is missing Darling!
@Gabrielle Ann if your picture is you, you’re young and female. You’re in the highest survivability group. Just worry about what you can control, for example not exposing yourself and definitely absolutely avoiding your older family.
Apparently this virus sets off an allergic reaction in some patients, a histamine response. Why don’t the docs treat for that?
@Gabrielle Ann you know something I am pretty much in the same boat, going to sleep every night around 3:00 am since all this chaos started.
@Melayne Mills I can’t find any indication that what you say is true. Drop a link if it’s not from social media pls
It is so difficult to maintain infection precautions in a place like that. You can’t instruct a patient with dementia or cognitive issues to not touch their face, the patient will forget. People with mobility issues cant get up to wash their hands every 2 seconds. Theses people have like 30 patients to one nurse. Also, they didn’t know what precautions they needed in the very beginning. Patients with cognitive issues aren’t going to keep masks on either if they are mobile. They did the best they could, unfortunately that patient population is fragile.
Imagine if every flue season we did this lmao
Very true!
@Amy Fender fellow RN here who has also worked in an assisted living/rehabilitation program for elderly and I 100% feel all of this. I had many nights were I was the only registered nurse in the entire facility. When the nurses and doctors are overwhelmed the community is at stake.
It is not difficult…it’s impossible! 🙁
@June’s Outside Contact You are exactly right. Not to mention when you are the only RN ( I was in that position almost every night shift I worked just like you were I’m sure ) every single patient in the building which usually averages between 100 and 125 around here is your responsibility and when they crash it’s completely up to you to make the decisions that could save a life or cost one. It is absolutely that serious and it is a mind-blowing amount of stress. Not to mention the families that call wanting info ( which is understandable) and get pissed when you can’t come to the phone immediately so they file a complaint against you specifically the next morning. They don’t know and probably wouldn’t care that you were doing chest compressions on a patient that came in for simple rehab after a knee replacement and then coded with zero warning at the exact same time that your favorite 99 year old aspirated and needs immediate Care . It sounds so overdramatic but you and I both know that it is overdramatic lots of times lol. I don’t mean to sound like I hated the work because I didn’t . I loved taking care of those patients. But I always resented the lack of concern from the “higher ups” who saw no problem with things being how they were. I can only imagine the chaos that those nurses and CNA’s were trying to manage. With none of the necessary safety equipment accessible to them . They didn’t even know what the virus was initially . Sending best wishes to you, my sister nurse. 💓
Let’s pray for a cure or vaccine against the Coronavirus.
@Brendo Xd No it’s not.
Sparkymax let’s pray for those that believe a Known Conman WTH! Just ask his 3 wives if he can be trusted! Or all the So Called Christian ✝️ Trump supporters- Let him cast the first stone who hasn’t had sex with a porn star after the birth of his 5th child and his 3rd wife and then paid hush money 💰 read that 3 times! Gullible suckers
Sparkymax yes Faux News is telling the truth WTH! Trump tried to save the Stock Market first and foremost instead of Americans health first and foremost WTH! Yes so the stock market crashed and his low unemployment and his great economy his strong points for being re-elected kaboom 💥! So fitting that America has a Pompous Arrogant Spoiled Rotten Rich Selfish American Brat for President!
pounder forgot, wrong CNN lied again. Fact
sandpiper, Yes it definitely is.
This virus is very deadly.Please be careful!Not just old people die from this!Everyone is in danger!
@Redtide moron
@Margaret Nicol no
@Trolly Trollsteen we already know you’re receiving benefits you didn’t earn.
@bill Murray thank you! 🙏
Sounds like just another gay pride parade if you ask me
The fact that in this country, we are out of PPE to protect these heroes is disgraceful. The fact that we can’t get N95 to hospitals, and not requiring the population to wear masks in public are doing all medical professionals on the front line a disservice. Thousands will die because of this failure.
Nurses and Doctors who risk your lives. You have a big thank you from me. Also to everyone going to work. Thank you. And people staying home. Thank you. Everyone. Keep up the good work
Easy with the working ones… Any non-essential activity going on it’s an unnecessary burden on your medical population. Some are asymptomatic, others will get it… of those, some will die, and a couple health workers with him.
It better be justified. Stay at home. From Spain.
Amen
Coronavirus also affects the heart ❤. Please watch and share this video from a cardiologist
https://youtu.be/oedBWm7Ins8
We need to take care of each other, folks. The government has fumbled the ball and all we have is each other. So… let’s delay the mud slinging until our medical professionals can get this virus under control.
Youre welcome. Its hard stay and home. Put i do it FOR MY FAMILY FRIENDS AND OTHER VULNERABLE PEOPLE. I LOVE USA! PRAY TRUMP RESIGN SOON AS POSSIBLE
This interview changed everything I have been thinking about this pandemic….
See also Europe especially in news videos in Italy as well how impact-ful this virus was and is…It’s not as flue…experts described as more of “Pneumonia in steroids”….a somewhat good thing is a large % do not eventually develop these extreme symptoms
@21TRILLION TRILLION . While I appreciate your polite request , I’m afraid it’s just too late for me or any other reasonable American to cut Trump any slack. He’s lied far too many times, insulted far too many people, caused far too much division within this country and the world, and given far too much aid and comfort to our enemies for us to ever want him to be re-elected.
@Anne Marie
Anne , I just wanted you to be on the “winning “team”. President Trump will fold Biden like a cheap trick . Four more years is a foregone conclusion at this point . We just have not decided if we want to repeal the 22nd amendment or bring in Don Jr as #46.
Trump 2016-2024 / Trump Jr. 2024-2032
The best
@21TRILLION TRILLION . Well, thanks for sharing your fantasies with us. Unfortunately, we can’t see any strong evidence that makes any of that true.
In fact, we’re really baffled why you would think that Trump, after all of the nastiness and divisiveness and his gross mishandling of this crisis, deserves to continue to be president.
And it’s even more baffling why you would think his son, who’s shown a talent for nothing but being an abrasive prick, would also make a good president.
Just doesn’t make any sense.
@21TRILLION TRILLION so hundreds of US hospital’s are lying about running out of beds, PPE, and ventilators? I dont remember the flu crippling countries health systems (Italy, ect). Keep your nut riding to yourself, we get that you love trump.
The doctors, nurses & healthcare workers across this country are going to bare an unimaginable psychological burden in the months to come. Incredible grief. Pray for them. ( & that’s coming from me, an atheist)
Sure
I’m a nurse and an atheist. I don’t really know many doctors, nurses or healthcare workers that continue to be religious after seeing some of the things we see. Hard to believe in god when you see people die of extremely treatable diseases! I was already doubting my beliefs before I became an RN but my first month on the job slapped that nonsense out of me real quick. I’ve watched old people beat cancer that should’ve killed them and young people die from things that should be harmless. I’ve assisted in open heart surgery where the surgeon literally has the person’s life in their hands. I’ve stood there as the doctor told families the absolute best or worst news about their loved ones. I’ve watched a mother go through hours of painful delivery to give birth to a perfect baby that never got to take it’s first breath and then listened to her family say “god really wanted this angel” and “we must be greatful that god gave us even a second to hold him”. I want to throat punch those people!
@MrLILv104 pick up a science book! You can thank me later!
@June’s Outside Contact I can’t even imagine your day to day. Thank you for what you do. You are doing the Lord’s work, & I say that honestly, if tongue in cheek.
I was raised religious & my parents remain so… I lost what little faith I had when my oldest friends wife was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer…at 33 years old…3 months after giving birth to their 1st daughter after a decade of trying to get pregnant. She lived 13 months, dying painfully & horribly from lung cancer in their bedroom, leaving my oldest friend to raise their daughter on his own. The most insulting thing someone can say in the face of things like this is “God works in mysterious ways…”
MrLILv104 God bless you!
Why did she ask if they have covid 19 ? If they did , they wouldn’t be there
To which they all answered no. Then she asked if any of them had tested positive for COVID-19!!
So they tested positive?
JunkBox No, they didn’t test positive. Not sure why she basically asked the same question twice.
You never know
@Terry Robinson Covid-19 and the virus are two different things. Covid-19 is the disease. A positive testing for the virus (SARS-Cov-2) means you were exposed and producing antibodies, but you may not exhibit symptoms or dis-ease.
We need to start actually paying nurses money.
Everyone who is making these decisions might end up dying with a nurse as the last person to talk to you and care for you and we just exploit the innate caring personalities of these people without fair reward
Man, true. Nurses in first world countries are actually pretty compensated unlike us here in the philippines where our government treat us like a volunteers. Man even the non graduates who earns by just doing online job have twice earnings than ours
How about putting nurses there to begin with? Most of the caregivers in nursing homes have very little training, and most don’t even have an RN available on call 24/7.
These people need National recognition….they literally risked their lives.
You risk your life driving a car. The 9/11 and chinoble guys risked their lives. That’s these people job. If anything they risked the chance of getting sick for a week. Zilch
Oh yeah they are so brave charging everyone an arm and a leg for a flu
I’ll add that 11 have died in-facility since 2/19/2020 and they have still NOT been tested so the death count is a underestimate.
HATS OFF TO ALL MEDICAL WORKERS AND STAFF…..Priceless!
Yes they do seem to be getting richer off of this then the welfare system
