As a hospital worker during COVID...I have never experienced such a dire, desperate, traumatizing working environment as that year and a half. Those months before the vaccines were available were so sad, losing patients, even losing coworkers and staff, or their families. Being low on supplies and having to decide what to do almost day to day, hour to hour in some cases, as we ran out of ventilators, IV bags, blood, I heard in some other hospitals in my state, and even body bags. I always rolled my eyes at people complaining about simple over-the-ear facemasks; we needed to wear complete hazmat suits with filtered air, and they were often hot and uncomfortable for hours (8-10hrs for me, 40- 60 hrs a week). Then, coming home, I basically stripped in the garage or basement so I wouldn't track it into the home to my family. I get Robby's headspace so much; it was traumatizing.
