As Italy faces one of the largest outbreaks of coronavirus, Italian nurses are taking to social media to share what it's really like trying to save lives during the global pandemic.
Selfies featuring their exhausted and bruised faces have gone viral on social media. These injuries come from them wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) day after day, hour after hour. Yet, they also share messages of hope — and a warning for people to stay home to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Nicola Sgarbi, a nurse in Italy, wrote about his experience on Facebook. His post was written in Italian and was shared 74,000 times. Here is a rough translation of his message:
“I don’t love selfies. Yesterday, though, I took this photo. After 13 hours in the ICU after taking off all my protective devices. I don't feel like a hero ... I am a normal person, who loves his job and who, now more than ever, is proud and proud to do it by giving all himself on the forefront lines together with other wonderful people (doctors, nurses, oss, technicians, cleaners)."
I hate this pity-mongering bullshit. Do people have any idea how pathetic social media makes them look to the world?

why do these faggots act like they aren't being paid?
Ian Turner
Those aren't bruises. That's like saying you have bruises when you take off your whitey tighties and see the 'HANES' imprint on your waist.

Clearly these faggots have never spent 13 hours in chem gear sucking rubber for an exercise in 100+ degree heat. Fucking babies.

One of the doctors had tears in his eyes when Harris asked if he wear some goggles. Another doctor just shrugged and mumbled, “I don’t know.”

They should think themselves lucky they're not getting raped and having their limbs blown off in a word war.

20,000 dead British men on the first day of the Somme....no one batted an eyelid
Ayden Richardson
If they had black nurses and doctors that wouldn't happen.
Parker Cox
there is a really, REALLY, easy fix for this. i used to have the same marks because i wear several types of masks for hours on end. fucking low IQ normies, they prefer to cry for pity about it instead of tinkering a solution. t. woodworker
