I have one im femi oke a and you are in the Stream Health care workers around the well its back in the bronx at the corona Virus Outbreak but many are not getting the support they need you one of them with us on i live chats or at stream on twitter. Take a look at some of the social media pleas the hashtags covert 19 Health Care Heroes flatten the curve these are from Health Care Workers from around the world and they have been asking asked. To appreciate their work as they stand on the front lines of the Coronavirus Fight get me p. P. A. Thats personal protective equipment that in the curve i said it worked for you please stay at home for us in countries hard hit by covert 19 doctors nurses and other medical staff have been among the most likely to become infected with a quite a virus and they are constantly in contact with infected patients but often lack protective equipment and theyre exhausted after working long shifts with few breaks and Critical Care nurse of just sport you know i was just wanted to get some stuff in for the next. Snow snow branch to burn. Just im supposed to stay healthy i. Announced people who just strictly because santa lives. You just dont. People like me are going to really look you know see you when youre yellow is. That was dawn bell brought a british Critical Care nurse after 48 hour shift so how are healthcare workers around the world handling the krona virus crisis joining us to discuss this is that the un tony torres is the Senior Consultant of the respect tree and intensive care unit at the university of bos alona in spain or so with us stocked in iran. A pediatrician at silver de Pitts Silverdale p. T. Pediatrics in Washington State a coronavirus hot spot and finally we have dr made its way an emergency room practitioner and journalist based in london i especially ask the doctors how are you doing that in london on lockdown. Given the circumstances im. Trying to get through the details. But there are same the same where on lockdown now the governor gave a shout in order for the next 2 weeks so were just trying to help the people we can sure that im tony in Barcelona Police are on the streets making sure people are congregating how we use doing our movie im doing well but if you do a family get the story lets say because you know its been heard. I love. And a lot of you should be as you so dr no rather this is a very stressful time for everybody pretty much around the world but when you are literally treating or not knowing if your patients may well be infective what is that like. Its something ive never experienced before in 20 years of working and literally on the front lines seeing sick patients every day after in my clinic has been compared to kind of an a light e. R. For children we do almost everything except trauma here so i just saw within the last hour a patient who could be infected and i saw them in their car unfold. That id done the disinfected to recycle which is something weve never had to do before normally we take off the p. P. A. Throw it in the garbage and and move on but im literally rotating 4 masks over 4 days using the same mask inbetween and trying to sterilize in the best mobility in between and again this is for the safety of patients and safety of the Health Care Workers and its unprecedented times i need say p. P. A. In that and we know now now because. Its a social media thats personal protective equipment. That i can see some of the lines on and youll have to lean forward and tell us what those lines are see. This is like a break from my my shift. Just come out of. Recess so this is like the safety goes after and then theres a mosque as well but this is the the goggles that we actually have to wear just to protect us doesnt people think its just something that you can inhale but it can go through for example from your eyes and so that its just its one of those diseases that you cant see but you know its that this is very dangerous yet the time to go ahead you know that did you you dont know that the patients are all of the doctor terry had to but not because hes very phylum at the beginning to him what the pattern in your inbox alone is that when we give those we knew we were taking all the precautions and of course now we are picking on the russians but a lot of time to. Come from 4 weeks ago. Well its a really no damage was done before we could even realize what was happening it feels like corona virus is like a trojan horse weve woken up to a whole new world and this virus has snuck in overnight and is attacking everywhere that we can see it doesnt matter what were going to say to have even now even though the news is come out about their own virus the discussions up and about why am i still seems traffic on the streets why does it take me so long to get to why people still walk around as normal a normal day were supposed to be on lockdown its just the mass of people that need to take it start taking it seriously i completely agree i thought they were in the same boat but im glad let me Say Something about it we asked appearing catalonia obviously 10 days ago to gloat but only the company but only on the front yard and all the people who come and that the government. Had deep deep under that because we depend on the federal government and i think he named United Kingdom youll be or Something Like that because the message of body john one were really very strange. He said but he said he was not going to quote anything now exploding and these arent really very bad but he did it does very well opinion these variable a duration thats on it as. That guy had on that and that. Bus reached the stage where basically its already spread so far so closing things down now isnt going to make that much of a difference considering the fact that almost everyone i see now is corona positive until proven otherwise so we just assume that everyone has the disease and some of these x. Rays that im seeing maybe 2 weeks ago i would have said this is a severe infection now its almost like a mobile phone or that its just like the fact that the patient yeah that is telling this is that. Its a very scary thing for us that is i know something oxygen is not a citizen yeah. There was an accident numbers were a few years few weeks ago i would have really thought that this patient was sick and needed to big immediately when i might actually lets hold off so when i say chad you are going to go to run to lay the patient yeah ok youre right but but the mt what happened in china we did learn from that order we did not expect the people from time to go and what was happening in china was terrible and horrible and theyre going to have. What kind of back to the photo doesnt rank ahead toys going to say well i was good im agreeing with both doctors i mean i think we were caught unaware we should have probably paid attention more or understood more of what was going on in china and again so im in seattle near the epicenter of the nursing home outbreak and its sort of spread i think in the community and we lost patience in hospitals before we even knew it was on our shores and so i do have to say our governor were handling it state to state and i agree with dr anthony that consistency would have been key here in the states Washington State really locked down pretty early we didnt have a shot in order but we shut down the schools 2 weeks ago some of us really pushed hard to make make sure that happened and the governor really has just. For i had to be as ahead of the game as you can and i feel like thats why Washington State is a little bit has slowed the spread more than new york which is new york starting to feel like theyre overwhelmed what i am noticing about where youre taking this conversation is that you are talking about the populations youre talking about your countries youre not talking about yourself but every single day every month just taking a break from the shift every moment you could possibly get infected how do you deal with this with your family and i just thought well as an. First i remember the 1st time i went to see a possible grown patient and at the time it was nerve racking but now its almost like its a given that everyone you see must coronas so you take the necessary precautions but you almost forget that youre wearing it will and youre out there to try to do your best youre the kind of feels like not to compare it to times of war but for us because this is an invisible thing it feels that we are being thrown into the trenches and to me in terms of the family thing like ive now got to move our lives in a hotel just because im so high risk like anything ive touched no matter how much i wash wash myself or you dont know if you got rid of everything completely and i dont want to put my like some of your friends at risk. Yet beyond the only contact that i have is my wife im not seeing my kids for are a couple of weeks and my mother. Who is 90 do. What about 3 weeks i guess one hair. 3 banks but in a. And i have 4 little children my husband and i Work Together he runs my office so i think were doing the best we can to wash our selves before we go home change our clothes the moment we get home take them off and put them in the laundry right away. I it is a likely reality my children are going to get this and i am not sure either of us can we cant both move out of our home so yeah weve weve prepped our kids a problem a month ago and said look you are a low risk group you are likely to get this and were going to do the best we can to avoid it my mom is 76. 00 and she is she also works in my office and shes coming in the middle of the Early Morning when no ones here shes in a back office. And shes going home early and then staying in her house and my kids havent seen her since this began about a couple of weeks ago that was just when i left out the shop basically because of all this and the fact that like for example i thought the hotel like what we have to realize is that should weep because were high risk of catching the virus should retouch the virus and get infected and become unwell with it nobody will be able to visit us family members on the law to come into the hospital to come visit us and that is something thats very chilling and some of the most Difficult Conversations i have even with patients is when im telling them that their prognosis is quite sad and that many of us away from from the disease is that they want to see their loved ones but its not something thats going to be possible so im going to go to you know you because your conversation dantoni if i may just for a moment that i want people who are watching you on t. V. To be at a communicate with us well so Elizabeth Rainey says on you chip watching or if you talk to us right now how can we get clean equipment like mosse to you what factories can we use and how do we make sure the virus doesnt get on the box is used to ship them very practical question doctor there and ive been trolling your twitter feed so i know what one amazing person did. So im going to show you that picture which is which is basically something you tell the story and then ill get to the faking well i you know the newspaper gets delivered to my doorstep and i opened my door and there were 2 boxes of masks sitting on my doorstep and at the time i didnt know who left them most people in this town i was born and raised here i practice in the town i grew up in so they know where i live yeah and i didnt know who sent them i now know who did they want to remain anonymous but have im so grateful im still using those same astore in there and sure its like a fairy godmother or fairy cult father just drop them on your doorstep amazes and you know and you know the donations have continued to come in and now i am starting to figure out ways to get them to other doctors there are retired dentists that today have had 2 or 3 retired dentist bring in masks gloves whatever they have in storage where they had left over from when they retired people are really stepping up in this Community Getting them to us and i mean were just going to do the best we can to make sure that both the workers and the staff in my clinic the hospitals and the frontline workers in the ers and in the ice use have what they need hospitals are assigning one mask a day theyre rotating them theyre theyre putting their names on them i mean were were really we need factories to step up especially United States i assuming its in spain in the u. K. As well but we need factories to search churning out some protective equipment because were in this were going to be in this for a couple of months at least a dozen tony was a life wondering bus and i dont have. What we did with the couple of actions myself but generally i had to cheneys fellow from working in research with me and they have a whole lot of contact in china and with the chinese population here in barcelona and when we could collect a lot of the mask that we gave to the hospital and the 2nd action is that we collect all the equipment from the Research Animal lots a lot of then work in the with the mechanic of mental is designing most thought we gave all these equipment to the hospital and the 3rd action i think is important than. One. Little onion 50 cent is making mechanical delays source and then they expect to have that he handed it at the end of this week. As extraordinary its amazing what you can do when you when you try to time i go head to head you know you sort of so i think its about time the the private Healthcare Industry in the u. K. Steps up weve got a lot private schools around the u. K. But theres the problem of what summer there was the public images. Because they made a lot of money for health care but as you know this person said with us right doctors i want to know i want you to know how appreciated you are so as people are watching the show on twitter right now youre getting salutations from around the world ahmed says this is the period we need to come together to fight this deadly virus we need to give our doctors maximum support to tackle the corona virus and then we have from ethiopia covert 19 updates been strong doctors pretty shape here or more here from have our doctors around the world you are our heroes we ethiopians away if you inshallah we will of come so thats god willing we will overcome i want to go to boston massachusetts which is not at breaking point quite yet but this is dr josie she is anticipating breaking point as of a look my family and the medicine residents and i go to work every day with this feeling of impending sense of june because we know that although boston hasnt yet like many other places like new york. We know its only a matter of time before our system starts getting overwhelmed by the amount of critically ill patients who want to kurta me and you can start and then were go around the rest of the doctors is that we didnt seem prepared as a world for a Global Pandemic we didnt seem to be ready may have a couple of dry runs almost and some scarce but how come were not ready oh thats a great question and i. I i think probably i dont this is just well i just think the repeatedly that this disease spreads and the fact that people can be asymptomatic meaning with no symptoms feeling well and that they can spread it to other people again no one wants to do that thats one of my greatest fears but again its this asymptomatic spread that i think has changed this in the fact that its just so its spreading so quickly that were overwhelming our system and i think in a way we havent seen for at least the United States since the 1900 flu pandemic i mean thats the closest thing to me a mere suppose the robotic plague while worse is still you know spread rapidly yeah so again we just our lifetime weve never seen anything quite like this thats when tony go ahead im going to say i did a problem we didnt expect that before the spread of this bottle and so many patients young and old are indeed as you mechanical a bit like that with a year youre really going to expect that it is looking at the books and reading if it looks like that mary. Im sure all the book called the spanish influenza yeah. If it be going to start in spring really so talk to us this is what we asked our own Like Community we asked them this on twitter is this something you want to say to the doctors nurses and the Health Care Workers around the world fighting the krona virus and discreet down here we got this message this is for you doctors and 4 of her doctors and Health Care Workers and medical professionals around the world this is a message from one of after us to all the doctors nurses well the medical practitioners we want to thank you and i want to put in to see that you guys are good reviews who dont really necessarily have to record. Thank you no other that the fighting a common enemy who has no heart or remorse youre ok ive been so just on the ground so proud of you and im really grateful everyone stay at home because so theres that that gratitude but the time again just wondered what else can we do as the public because theres so many countries on lockdown right now how can we help get what they need well. We need the good people and they form the main message and rebuild that mans right which is really one. I completely agree i think the the thing that everyone can do and again you dont need to be. Theres nothing special about that other than stay home if you need to go to the Grocery Store you need to go to the pharmacy send one person you know one person from your family try as much as you can to alter your life because its going to save Health Care Workers lives and its going to save the lives of elderly and those who are affected by this virus and if we can slow the number of people that need ventilators and need extra respiratory support then you can allow Health Care Workers to take care of those who are coming in without having to make decisions like italy is havi
