Imagine showing up to battle a pandemic with just one mask per day . That’s the reality for healthcare workers in Spain, according to an anonymous emergency doctor who shared her team’s struggles as COVID-19 cases surge. With colleagues in isolation and ERs overflowing, she describes a system pushed to its limits.
\"We’re reusing gear meant for single use,\" she explains, highlighting PPE shortages. Hospital staff juggle 12+ hour shifts while worrying about exposing loved ones. \"Who cares for our kids? What if we bring the virus home?\"
The emotional toll mirrors scenes from early pandemic hotspots – think \"Contagion\" meets real-life heroism. Yet these frontline workers aren’t superheroes, just humans fighting exhaustion with dwindling resources. Their story reminds us why #StayHome saves lives – and why global healthcare solidarity matters more than ever.
