Social media chatter "...if you graduate nurses early try to send them off with their own PPE cause ECMC and MERCY (ps Mercy is the WORST, DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU GET SICK!!) are saying they're only being provided with 1 paper mask PER SHIFT and no N95 masks 😮  Buff Gen seems to be doing ok though so far in terms of protocols top project both patients AND staff and they say they have PPE there.."

How to read the news and the chatter? My best guesses: it is worse everywhere than is reported; if a system is reporting low infection rates then they must not be testing their healthcare workers, gotta be; so if the reported rate is higher you're better off going wherever that is, logically; the rest of America is going to let New Yorkers die, they don't give a shit.

That last guess is an emotional one. But I'm from the There, and now I live Here, and Here and There never did give much of a shit about each other on a good day.
