Getting Firsthand Reports From NYC Hospitals

Mt. Sinai is overwhelmed as are hospitals in Brklyn and Queens. I'm in Health care in NJ, this is coming straight from provider to provider. It's begun, I don't watch MSM, so I don't know about the coverage. I'm looking for reports online, not seeing much, at least yet...The system is starting to buckle in NYC...

Edit: Thanks for the gratitude, but honestly, it's my staff that are doing the work and deserve the gratitude (and boy do they!), I'm in admin, so not on the front lines, and it's better that way.

I can't even imagine what it's like to work in those conditions. It takes a special person with a truly unique and caring character to return to those circumstances day after day with no let up in sight.

I hope that everyone comes out of this with body and soul still in one piece.

You’re THE BEST too, for having their backs!!

Sure glad to know you’re at “low risk” - let’s keep it that way!
