the week he is an emergency and trauma
nurse from Jacobi Medical Center in the
Bronx New York say hello to TJ Riley hi

want to thank you for what you're doing

emergency room and the Bronx things are
already pretty crazy yeah it's very
crazy so on a usual day you know we may
see a gunshot wound a stab wound to
machete wound all types of things you
probably seen it have the machete wounds
have those gone down at least during
this time everything's gone down so like
the traumas that have gone down a lot so
even the surgeons in the hospital
they're treating Kovac virus isn't that
interesting so how many of your
coworkers are is the whole Hospital
really focused on corona virus right now
just everything we're trying to focus so
the whole hospitals focused on the
corona virus you know everything all the
units that we have they're all pretty
much coded 19 units so every and this I
find ok I know the answer but how many
of your co-workers have contracted the
virus about 6 60% so the first one yeah
how are your symptoms was it was it
difficult so yeah so I had a fever for
12 days nausea dizziness it was pretty
crazy when a nurse gets coronavirus who
takes care of you um so my husband Fred
took care of me um he was very good my
parents they drove from Staten Island to
a Long Island to deliver me a groceries
