This was a forced situation and they tell you by their description of it, fear level of staff elevated, they were told to nurse three critically ill patients at a time using equipment they were not familiar with, this is a recipe for disaster. No questioning or critical thinking involved even down to what they had to wear masked, gowned, gloved, no hydration allowed, they were isolated in their wards and they admitted they were terrified, this would physically stress anyone and is impossible for people to function for any length of time. They were presented with seriously ill patients, the nurses see it as a result of an epidemic what they don't see is the iatrogenic harm that had been inflicted on these poor people before they arrived at intensive care. The care given to Covid patients was forcing them onto a road of severe illness and death which was what these nurses were seeing. All of this was completely avoidable if normal hospital working responses had not been removed. Patients are not in critical care for end of life treatment yet this is what they say is "fundamental" to their job? All of this response that is related to Covid is sinister and the human tragedy resulting from it is wicked and it was made to happen. Those poor patients stood no chance.
