Are you seriously so abysmally bad at empathy that you’re unaware that doctors and nurses the world over watched millions of people die very often in agony, while forcible isolated from their loved ones, during the first year of Covid?
Being forced by your job to watch someone suffocate is, definitionally, a real trauma that can easily cause very real PTSD. Going back in and watching that same story play out hundreds of times, especially in the early days before anyone had figured out effective treatments, would cause real PTSD in any human being with even an absolutely minimal capacity for empathy.
