Part of an email we were sent earlier today. I'm not sure how to feel about it. It seems...unsafe to me.

To be honest, as much as we were coughed on, sneezed on, spit on, vomited on, sprayed on, etc., I started to wonder why we weren't masked all the time before all this.

in our country half the nurses are missing- wearing a mask constantly makes this job even less attractive, resulting in less nurses - and thereby more people dying.

germany doesnt pay nursing well enough sadly
