With a few dozen fewer clients than yesterday, day two was slow. Lots of media coverage of our opening day but all an exaggeration of next-to-no action. I feel reassured that this month has a purpose when I see a client leave with a box of tamiflu, though this doesn’t happen very often. Is it wrong (yes) to want a more exciting pandemic?
The N-95 masks are hell to wear and people are starting to switch to surgical masks. Surgical masks are all for show – they prevent you from infecting others, but are not particularly good at protecting you from infection. The gowns, however, are extremely fashionable despite being completely pointless, and we’re all thinking of how to work this gear into Halloween 2010.
The candy brought in for sick kids? It’s become a bit of an incentive to taking clinic shifts. I see lots of staff popping mini chocolate bars under their masks – how can something that feels so good be wrong? This has got me waiting to see if staff start to get sick and really hoping we don’t. Things are hectic enough as it is.
