27 month of COVID-19, thousands of patients swabbed. 10’s of thousands vaccinated, tended to 100’s of critically ill, intubated patients and stayed safe. Now where everybody thought it’s gone and facilities loosened the mask requirements for visitor and does no longer require staff to mask unless they are dealing directly with patients, I get infected with COVID-19. I still wear my mask religiously but me wearing my mask only protects other from me. If they do not wear a mask I stand risk of getting it, and I did. Tested positive 4 days ago, fever cough and one wicked headache. Luckily My family and I are fully vacced and boosted so we avoid (thus far) any major issues. Neb treatments, steroid and antipyretics are doing the trick. More and more of my team are getting ill. People, it ain’t over so please continue to practice what we learned over the last 2 years. Social distancing and keep wearing a mask works. I will now only wear an N-95 since it offers better protection to me, even if the other person does not wear a mask. Don’t give in to social pressure. Getting infected sucks big time. It makes it difficult to focus on anything else. Hopefully just a couple more days and I will be over it. You all stay safe!!!!
