translated from Spanish: A Nurse’s Story for the Coronavirus: “I’m afraid to go to work”

Italy is undoubtedly, after China, the worst country in terms of corronavirus expansion. Since arriving in Europe, it has become a quarantined nation where no one can be on the streets and the only thing that remains in constant work is health and safety services. This is how some workers also want to show the world that it is not a joke and that the pandemic is real, or at least so in countries that did not take the necessary steps. Alessa Bonari is a Milan worker, suffering but struggling to try to save people’s lives, and left a moving account.” I’m a nurse, and it’s my turn to get through this health emergency. I’m also afraid, but I’m not going shopping… Yes, I’m afraid to go to work,” she said on her Twitter account where she sees a photo with her face marked due to work elements. By protocol, you should prevent contagion with blanket, lenses and gloves.

Sono i un’infermiera e in questo momento my trovo ad affrontare que stasta emergenza sanitary. Ho paura anche io, ma non di andare a fare la spesa, ho paura di andare a lavoro. Ho paura perché la mascherina potrebbe non aderire bene al viso, o potrei essermi toccata accidentally con i guanti sporchi, o magari le lenti non mi coprono nel tutto gli occhi e qualcosa potrebbe essere passato. Sono stanca physically perché i dispositivi di protezione fanno male, il camice fa sudare e un volta vestita non posso pi’ andare in bagno o bere per sei ore. Sono stanca psychologically, e come me sono tutti i miei colleghi che da settimane si trovano nella mia stessa condizione, ma questo non ci prevent’di svolgere il stro lavoro eat abbiamo sempre fatto. He continued to curaare e prendermi cura dei miei pazienti, perché sono fiera and innamorata del mio lavoro. Quello che chiedo a chiunque stia leggendo questo post’ di non vanificare lo sforzo che stiamo facendo, di essere altruisti, di stare in casa e cos proteggere chi é pi’ fragile. Noi giovani non siamo immuni al coronavirus, anche noi ci possiamo ammalare, or peggio ancora possiamo far ammalare. Non mi posso permettere il lusso di tornarmene a casa mia in quarantena, devo and a lavoro and fare la mia parte. Voi fate la vostra, see what chiedo per favore.

“I’m afraid the mask won’t stick well to my face, or maybe accidentally touch me with dirty gloves. Or, the lenses may not completely cover my eyes and something will happen,” she says, adding, “I’m physically tired because the protective devices are bad, the lab coat makes me sweat and once I’m changed I can’t go to the bathroom or drink for six hours.” Beyond his grievances, he remains in the fight against the disease and asks all workers to be responsible. “This will not prevent us from doing our job as we always have. I will continue to care for my patients, because I am proud and in love with my work”What I ask anyone who is reading this post is to collaborate with the effort we are making. Be responsible, stay home and protect the most fragile. Young people are not immune to coronavirus, we too can get sick,” he confirmed.
