'Now I know the horror they are living': Head nurse at Brooklyn hospital tells how she went from treating COVID-19 patients to becoming one herself and was successfully treated with plasma infusions
The chief nursing officer at Mount Sinai Brooklyn has revealed how she went from treating COVID-19 patients to becoming one of them herself - spending seven days in hospital after developing bilateral viral pneumonia in both of her lungs.
Claudia Garcenot spoke about her harrowing ordeal with New York magazine Friday, stating: 'Before my hospitalization, I thought to myself: 'This has to be the worst thing in the world'. But what I thought it was, was nothing compared to the reality of it'.
Garcenot, who is aged in her 60s, tested positive for the coronavirus late last month after feeling a tightness in her chest.
She told New York magazine that she spent a week isolated at home, before she eventually decided to head to the emergency department at Mount Sinai Brooklyn.
A chest X-ray revealed that Garcenot had developed bilateral viral pneumonia in both of her lungs - but she was still not admitted to the facility.

Propaganda
The test is not even accurate. Where I work a patient tested positive before an elective surgery and the Dr. insisted on a second test and they tested negative and went with that result and the surgery potentially exposing multiply others. The numbers you are seeing are not accurate either. Some are dying without having been tested any many more having tested negative and still died. It is not a Novel Flu. Ventilators and Dialysis machines are clogging up with clotted blood and people are more often dying of strokes, cardiac arrest and organ failure before respiratory demise. The people surviving this have a bad FLu the others something else completely.
