Nurse's plea

I need a mask
To shield this gas
I mean, droplet
Yes, now not "airborne"
But contagious as hell, on a killing storm
So give me a mask
For my protection
So I can take care of you during infection
Because if I go down
During this mass crisis
The world will drown
In this vile virus

Long before this pandemic, I've always had the utmost reverence for those on the front lines, whether it be medical professionals or first responders . . . it's an uncommon bravery that walks into harm's way like that . . . that is selflessness that most people could not conjure up on a daily basis, & maybe not even in a crisis! I love how the narrator in your poem does not sound as upset as most whiners would be in this situation!!!! Happy Easter! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you so much, Margie!! I have a great job and supportive team which makes dealing with the pandemic so much more manageable!

Give her a flipping mask. I say this knowing my, niece, sister-in-law, a few cousins, and not to mention a few friends are going through this. Average person is sitting at home, and your don't need it. These people need the flipping things!

So true, Jon. Appreciate your input!

I wish I had a mask to give you. You and all the other brave professionals who are on the front lines of this plague.

I read a piece yesterday that predicted 10% of nurses and doctors will go down with this virus, quite frightening.(UK)
If you are a nurse I tip my hat to you and hope that you stay safe.
Good morning
