Since I don't know your area of practice, I'm just curious, how much time have you spent in close prolonged direct contact with covid+ patients since this started?
Doing what I do, I spend unbroken hours at a time in covid rooms in close contact. Although that has significantly dropped off in recent months because there are much fewer covid patients in the hospital now.
My point is, by now I can only conclude that I'm already immune, either acquired through a subclinical infection, or preexisting from innate immunity acquired from exposure to other respiratory common cold viruses (as upwards of 50% of the population is as well).
I'm not arrogant enough to think my PPE practices, or the equipment, is infallible to the point of having isolated me from exposure after all this time.
Help me out here, because I just can't comprehend why a front-line health care worker who has been dealing with this first hand for over a year now would feel the need for this experimental drug.
Every shift. I have take. care of very sick covid patients and seen healthy young people die. I got the vaccine to prevent the disease for myself but also to protect the 95 year old O am the primary caretaker for and my 8 year old daughter.
