Behind the Scenes: Coping With the Latest COVID Surge

"Every person in my life who gets vaccinated is one less person I have to worry about dying." Avery Taylor, nurse manager at our Highly Infectious Disease Unit, talks about the toll of the latest COVID-19 surge.

Thanks so much for sharing. My husband and I just got our 3rd CV Vax and continue to wear our masks when outside of our house. To keep other's safe. Thanks for ALL you guys do. We pray for you every night and ask God to help those unvaccinated to turn around and just DO IT. Hugs to all of you.

Yeah, it's insane what these folks have to endure to help the public. Hats off to all of them.

My best friend works for a Houston Methodist hospital. She’s not on a HIDU but I’ve heard her share similar ideas and feelings. I’m so proud of her and so thankful for her service, but I don’t want her to worry about unvaccinated people dying anymore.
You’re right. Humans are finite resources. There is only so much you can do for so long. Thank you all for doing what you can for as long as you have. You’re all amazing.
