Just had my nth conversation with someone about mask-wearing today - yet another well-intentioned moron who was like 

‘But the virus is gone now’ (it isn’t) 

‘But the mask is uncomfortable’ (ventilators are worse)

‘But you’re young, you won’t die’ (having this thing could impact my health for decades to come + it’s my responsability to protect those who’re more vulnerable than I am because that’s how society works)

‘But are you going to live in fear for the rest of your life’ (taking concrete safety measures actually helps me feel more in control and less worried)

‘But are you going to give up everything and stay inside like a rat’ (no, but I’m definitely going to decide what’s worth risking my health for, and shopping for bread rolls is not very high on my list of literally-to-die-for activities)

‘But what if they never find a vaccine’ (then we’ll get used to the situation just like we got used to a thousand other things like seat belts, bike helmets, and increasingly weird true crime podcasts). 

I know it’s tiring to have people call you paranoid all the time - but you’re right and they’re wrong. Check the news, keep a safe distance from others whenever possible and keep wearing your mask!

(Btw that thread is full of interesting stuff.)

Happy #nationalnursesday to all my nursing friends and family. This is a profession I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of. I didn’t want to be a nurse growing up, but now as an adult I can’t think of anything I would rather do. There’s something so humbling about being there for people during difficult and challenging moments and knowing that you can help and bring comfort. I’ve worked in many different departments and states and it’s true- people are mostly good everywhere you go. I’m proud to come from a long line of helpers and it’s a tradition I’m proud to carry on. Happy nurses day, wash your hands. #lookforthehelpers #nynurses #nursesofinstagram #thankanurse (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2vZ0eh5fF/?igshid=1u1f4m2ow3pi0

My husband and I are not super spontaneous people by most standards and the events of the last 24 hours are still hard for us to wrap our heads around. But nonetheless we have accepted crisis travel jobs at NYU starting 2nd week in April. We are both nervous and excited but mostly looking to help however we can. We’d love for our family and friends to pray for us and wish us well. Thanks in advance we’ll keep y’all up to date with what happens.

Today was my last day in the ER before we leave. I couldn’t have asked for better coworkers, providers and bosses. I love this job and I love these people, so glad this isn’t goodbye but just see you later. Thank you all for making me a more well rounded nurse I hope to make you all proud. #ernurse #backtotheICU (at Chattanooga, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-vQBjihP5T/?igshid=y0zctat01ooi
