Thought for the day. I have heard it said many times that Healthcare workers are making jokes and not taking COVID 19 seriously. I would like to bring 4 facts to your attention. First, to work in Healthcare you must have a sick/dark sense of humor - sorry it’s just a requirement. And if you aren’t one of us, you don’t understand. Secondly, just because we aren’t buying 50 cases of Baked Beans and fighting over the last can of Antibac spray or loo roll at our local Morrison's , it doesn’t mean we aren’t preparing. And most of us don't have the income to stockpile, Actually, we go to work daily not knowing what diseases we may come in contact with..... So, infection prevention and standard precautions are part of our everyday life. Third, when has mass hysteria helped any situation? Maybe we are trained to stay calm, cool, and collected in stressful situations. And last but not the least...while everyone is concerned about travel bans, government enforced quarantines, and being out of school/work for who knows how long, who do you think will still be allowed and required to go to work? You guessed it right..!! Healthcare workers! So.....Don't panic ...use your common sense ...be mindful of yourself and others...stay safe ... Now go wash your hands. 😷🧼🚰🏨
If you work in Healthcare, please copy and paste to your status!👍
