From this nurse, translated from Italian: I am a nurse and right now I am facing this health emergency. I'm afraid too, but not to go shopping, I'm afraid of going to work. I am afraid because the mask may not adhere well to my face, or I may have accidentally touched myself with dirty gloves, or maybe the lenses are not completely covering my eyes and something may have passed. I am physically tired because the protective equipment hurts, the gown makes me sweat and once I am dressed I can no longer go to the bathroom or drink for six hours. I am psychologically tired, and like me are all my colleagues who have been in the same condition as me for weeks, but this will not prevent us from doing our job as we always have. I will continue to treat and take care of my patients, because I am proud and in love with my work. What I ask of anyone who is reading this post is not to frustrate the effort we are making, to be altruistic, to stay at home and thus protect those who are more fragile. We young people are not immune to the coronavirus, we too can get sick, or worse still we can make us sick. I can't afford the luxury of going back to my quarantined house, I have to go to work and do my part. You make yours, I ask you please.
