Maryland Mom Warns About Overwhelmed Hospitals After Son With #RSV Couldn't Get ICU Bed For a Week
@MelonDC Luckily they're old enough to be out of the high risk category for RSV, but they have both had things the last two weeks (2 colds, 1 ear infection...) it's been going through them like crazy this year, what with them not being exposed for two years.
@sullybiker That's crazy. They said in our hospitals adults are also getting multiple viruses.
I feel so bad for the hospital workers, especially here, when there are so many very young new med students in the ER etc. Nurses are doing the brunt of the work, too.
@sullybiker It is so scary, I feel really bad for parents right now.
What choices do you have? You can't keep a kid locked in their room lol. You can't even keep them home for school as much as last year. If you have your kids mask, other kids may make fun of them.
It's so hard, I hope your kid is OK now. Things need to change pronto for these kids, this is not sustainable or safe at all.
