WORK EAT SLEEP – REPEAT – Day 14, Thoughts About The Pandemic

ROUTINES

Daily thoughts & numbers on the COVID-19 pandemic from a M.D. working in the front lines at the Emergency Department in a hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.

12 hour shifts on repeat.

The game is catch up in between, trying to get enough rest and nutrition to do it all over.

Trying not to get sick.

Everything none essential is on hold.

Life is on paus.

What matters is making it through to the next shift.

And repeat.
