Some grisly perspective from the linked video: "In 18 months, she saw more patients die than most nurses before COVID saw in a career."

  That's sounds like BS, unless you are comparing nurses working in different places, then it would always have been true Know around 10 nurses at a big hospital. First they've always been on the brink of walking out, they earn on average less, in the UK, than starting IT workers, and they have much more responsibilities. They're shifts have been understaffed since ever. Everyone always talks about leaving In the beginning of the pandemic most old and sick were discharged to nursing homes, where they died And the hospitals actually had less people, but also less capacity since they could use only every other bed for distancing. So at least 50% less capacity. And wards where covid tested positive had to be closed for 2 weeks The excess mortality is not big enough that would be true for nurses in same position
