Personally I don't think hospitals should have any overhead announcements that are not absolutely necessary. For anyone who enjoys these things, it's likely there are many more they are either upsetting or disturbing/distracting who are already inundated with noise.

I don’t think your overall immunity would weaken from a year of being careful as an adult given that your body generally has a much longer memory than that (why many vaccines only need to be given during childhood, or every 10+ years, etc).

Honestly - just be kind. It means a lot when we know the people we're working with see us and all we're trying to manage. Understand that if we're not helping with something, it's not bc we think we're too good - we're probably trying to finish 10 other things between cases.

If you don’t have an inherent immunodeficiency from a genetic or medical condition, the idea of a weak immune system from lack of exposure to germs is (from my understanding at least) more related to fewer cumulative (mainly childhood) exposures

So tired of "lesser of two evils" in election context. No one with adequate experience will have a flawless record.
This is not a Coke/Pepsi election. That is a horribly misleading claim. This is a Coke and unfiltered bleach election. Not "lesser" of evil.

Palliative care. The way they can bring comfort to patients struggling with all kinds of symptoms not to mention the emotional and psychological burdens of serious conditions is so incredibly valuable. Every patient I've seen who's had them on board was so grateful for it.

I think it's really crucial to think about why these demands are made on healthcare workers. In many cases here, it's not because of a genuine true shortage of people or resources - it's because our system is not willing to shift those resources appropriately.

Observations about moving (other than it being the worst):
- I have way, way too many candles
- if someone offers to help, say yes (especially if it's your very strong brother who doesn't mind your every-15-min stressed out strategizing)
