Coded a COVID-19 symptoms patient. In his 20’s. We didn’t have enough gear or time to find PPE so 2 nurses were compressing him without masks on while the doc slammed on a PAPR without the fan to intubate. Bloody emesis sprayed on the staff.

I think there is a big difference between Ebola and Covid-19. While I appreciate the sentiment, don’t assume people who have made a choice to attend someone with covid without PPE hadn’t read this, or didn’t know what they were doing.

That is true. However, they are the resources we cannot quickly replace. Once they are exposed, it would not be the right thing to do to keep treating other patients. Unless they’re in a COVID-only unit.
