6. What is it like in your hospital right now?

   Guest862922 replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in COVID

   Interesting and scary. What I’m missing that those cardiac, renal etc. conditions showed with people who where otherwise healthy or with people who already had diseases such as diabetes, cardiac conditions and so on. That would be good to know
