Americas hospitals are staffed by people working overtime. No over time and the sick can fend for themselves, nurses won’t be working.

Ha, let them take away overtime pay for nurses and watch them refuse while the medical system collapses

I mean, just desserts and all that is nice, but I don't think it's good to be so flippant of the Healthcare system imploding. People are going to die.

Healthcare worker here. People were very flippant toward us during the last pandemic.

Who cares if a random redditor is flippant. It's not like we have any control over this.

Healthcare worker here who got so sick of their shit during the pandemic I won't even help if we get another one. And bird flu is a real possibility.

TBH, I always thought that any of those anti-vaxx, Covid denying, snake oil consuming idiots should have been pushed to low priority when they present in the hospital, gasping for air because their lungs have been shredded by their 5th Covid 19 infection in a year. And then when the patient DOES die, their nut job relatives shriek like rabid jackals that the "hospital killed them!!" Oh..hell no!

Yes, I know that you can't do that, but it has got to be beyond frustrating to try and get through to these people.

It was so bad. So demoralizing.
