    No one knew back then how it would all turn out to be… lockdowns, depression, inflation, wars… it was the start of something we’ve never experienced

    I lost my wife 12-19-21 to covid. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, not even my worst enemy. My wife did 2 different hospital stays totally 3 months. Her second trip she went on a vent to a trach, to a blowout lung, to a chest tube, to dialysis to death. The saddest thing I've ever seen in my life was seeing row after row of people on ventalators. Breaks my heart seeing these videos for the families.

    What is wrong with this picture when the reporter is fully suited up and has a N95 mask and the doctors are just walking around wearing simple masks? :(
  • My twin sister managed to survive this exact scenario in South Africa when the 1st covid strain came about. People were dying all around her. She has long covid now but is finally, getting much stronger. Good nutrition and slowly getting fitter has helped. Glutathione supplement, zinc, A, D and B complex too. Take care everyone.

    Damn i remember how scary this was watching in 2020, it felt like we were going to war with an invisible enemy. As someone who is immune compromised i literally spent the first 6 months of the pandemic inside my house only going out to get food supplies and exercise. I remember everyone on our street coming out to clap and bang pots every thursday for the nurses -no one knew if a vaccine was even possible at that time. All we could do was socially distance and stay in lockdown i was terrified everyday of losing my family to the virus, many of my friends lost parents and relatives. In the uk 150 thousand people lost their lives to covid It's something that i will never forget.

    Horrible. I had flu which triggered pneumonia a few years ago. It was horrible and painful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone
  • @whitdough8150
    These doctors, and assistants are working so hard, and are so overwhelmed, that one can see it in their faces. So much props and selfless acts to help the cause. 👏👏👏👏👏💐

  • @d1n0alg75
    Crazy how were slowly going back to this.
  • @kdot2513
    Absolute credit to the doctors and nurses fighting this disease, I could never do this. I’ve just come from another video of a man having his lungs vacuumed for liquid. Terrifying
  • All of these doctors, medical staff, nurses...Once this is over, i pray and hope they all get hailed as champions, heroes and will be financially rewarded to the highest degree. God bless them, God bless Italy and it's people.
  • Same footage decided to be shown on each news network set in different countries
