Meanwhile, the employees that hang on are slammed:

"I'm a nurse tech and the 'tripledemic' is pushing me to the brink. We still don't have enough beds because of a surge after holiday gatherings."

"Unlike at the beginning of the pandemic, we're accepting all types of patients. We no longer have a separate floor for COVID-19 patients because there aren't any extra rooms available. The COVID-19, flu, and RSV patients are put on the same floor as the cancer, tuberculosis, and shingles patients. However, there's a separation of staff and equipment."

"A cancer patient and COVID-19 patient won't get the same nurse, but PCTs like me work with all the patients. We have to take care of everyone BECAUSE OF THE STAFF SHORTAGE."
