    An LA nurse was faced with a choice: rush into a COVID patient’s room to save him while only wearing a thin surgical mask, or wait to find an N95. She chose the former, and then died of COVID. my latest:https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-10/nurse-death-n95-covid-19-patients-coronavirus-hollywood-presbyterian …

        The nurse, Celia Marcos, told her family about treating the COVID patient. She said she put hand sanitizer in her hair before leaving work, and showered immediately after getting home. She was alarmed by how quickly the patient deteriorated. “Pls be extra careful,” she warned.

        Celia Marcos’ death illustrates the way frontline workers’ risk of falling ill has been amplified by a national shortage of personal protective equipment. “I was the one right in front of his face,” Marcos wrote in a text to her niece reviewed by The Times.

        Some worry that nurses not on COVID wards may actually be in more danger than others, since gear mostly goes to those on covid wards. One nurse from Celia’s floor switched onto a COVID unit for that reason. “Even if we don’t have enough (PPE), we have more than everybody else.”

        Celia Marcos was known for her sweet nature and ability to remain cool-headed, no matter the situation. Filipino colleagues called her “ate” — big sister in Tagalog. “She’s the calm that we can look to in order to get through,” a colleague said.

        Celia Marcos was Filipino, as are many of the nurses she worked with. I was shocked to read this story and learn how just many health care workers are Filipino and how hard COVID has hit them.https://www.propublica.org/article/similar-to-times-of-war-the-staggering-toll-of-covid-19-on-filipino-health-care-workers …

        The US was offered millions of masks in January. The Trump administration turned the offer down.https://www.vox.com/covid-19-coronavirus-us-response-trump/2020/5/10/21253689/covid-19-masks-trump-white-house-prestige-ameritech …

        Facing this very choice soon, myself. Work in LTC with no confirmed cases ...yet. We have shoddy PPE and little training. I have asthma and COPD. I don't want to be a martyr to this intentional genocide.
