The overall situation among EMS while hard is handled good so far. Most of the calls are related to the coronavirus, which means we have to put on a suit fitted for it as long as glasses and, something to cover your hairs and gloves with unique usage. The thing is, summer is coming - while for some it seems great, it is a fucking pain to put these suits on and transport someone hit by the coronavirus to the hospital with it because you are sweating from everywhere and you are basically bathing in your own sweat because of course and as it is supposed to do your suit doesn't allow any fluid coming in or out.
Considering it's about one hour to get to a place, handle, stabilize a patient and transport him then disinfect everything in the ambulance I can tell you it's a pain. Now more than this, the pain also come from the hospital that are heavily filled with people, not only you got the coronavirus cases
but also the regular ones which are met with caution so that they don't get contamined (you got different blocks). My girlfriend is studying to be a nurse and has to be present to help, all the studies being suspended for the time being. They take every hands they can have.
Now on another note... I think we saw it coming because while I was in an intervention with my firefighters colleagues (yes i'm also a reserve firefighter, so I take both a red ambulance and a white ambulance for the red cross) we had no protections and a guy kept coughing on us like fucking hell. At first we laughed at it, but then we got sick for almost three weeks, all of us.
@Civil Protection @aeromantis were meming on me about that on TS because I was sick for fucking ages and it wouldn't go out at a point I puked everything in my toilets. This was like, one week before the lockdown so I might think I had it.
On a last note, it happens for us to get into a room with someone that has the coronavirus but we did not got the information before so we get to the patient without any protections first. It happened to me last time like, two weeks ago? But since the guy was in a very bad condition we prefered to stabilize him over getting ourselve protected by the suits.
This is me getting in a suit btw.
