And then you also have them that are basically walking into the emergency room already short of breath, like the symptoms have been bad and they need intubation right away.

It's, it's not possible. I just want to give you a heads up of what it means to become positive and be on a ventilator and why a ventilator is needed. You need a vent because it's basically breathing for you because your lungs essentially get so filled with fluid. It almost, it's like you're drowning in your lungs.

When you're on a vent as a COVID patient, you're a minimum is two weeks. We've had patients on it for a month. Pretty soon what's going to happen is you are going to have to choose who gets vented and who doesn't get vented. And what that entails is basically who gets to live and who doesn't get to live. Does your 65 year old grandma gets to live or your 40 year old neighbor? As for all nurses, I'm sure this, it goes for everybody. None of us are sleeping. I don't, I don't sleep anymore.

We are very close from the tipping point. Reaching the peak. We're almost there. We haven't reached it yet. And what has happened this week is they opened up our ORs. So we became the RICU, Respiratory ICU. They converted all the OR rooms into ICU beds. This week, our PACU, which is an open space, turned into the ICU as well, converted into beds. And I believe that opened on Thursday. And then the other half of our PACU, which became, which was the ER overflow at one point last year is now going to be converted into, into the ICU.
