It's heartbreaking to see people not care so much that others crumble under the weight of it all.
thereitis101
More empathy and kindness is needed. The last few years have pumped up the opposite.
Shoutrr
well, you'll hit 400 000 death by the end of the week...
MorallyCasual
Ooooh weeeee women supporting women I fucking love this I am crying.
electraqshunher
Dr Ezike in IL has cried too. She was nice and she pleaded, then cried, then was angry. I don't blame her at all. People are dumb as hell.
timmyd3403
Wear a Fucking Mask
iluvplants
CNN needs to bring her out of the field and let her get some much needed help. Heartbreaking to see her struggling.
AnnieAimee
Not even people thinking it’s a hoax, guy I work with (50’s) says he doesn’t care if he gets it, so gathered for Xmas. Care for others, jerk
deaththecreep0780
Fuck.
WhatRaySay
Here in NC anti-mask Covid deniers are all over the fucking place. So many people just do not care, at all. It's sick, blows my damn mind
jazex
You wonder if some people just can't deal with the stress so they have to deny. Everyone has their way of coping.
ILikeToCallItLostWages
Socal here, already lost two family members since this shit kicked off. No sympathy for anyone who thinks it's fake
Blackfinity
Now imagine what the medical staff are living with every day.

it fucking sucks...for everyone in healthcare. we either break, are numb to it, or have nothing left to give. I
MilledGrist
The L.A. hospital system is on the verge of collapse. Officials can't stomach more lockdowns so they've left the hospital holding the bag.
Ninjainslippers
It's not on the verge. They're rationing care, refusing transport for patients needing CPR, rationing O2. It's in the middle of collapse.
Sunshine12345
She was reporting after attending a funeral in a parking lot for the second parent a woman has lost. Damn. Keep your distance, wear a mask.
sadurdaynight
With all the coup stuff, we blew right past 375k deaths without batting an eye. Jesus
Comet260
That was a super-spreader itself.
T0go
Yes, the prospect of a violent coup has distracted us from the plague. Can we stop fucking electing Republican presidents now?
That's a conservative estimate too. Meta-analysis points to a number around 390k right now and the next 3 days will all hit 4k/day.
ObliqueRay
..what? I thought covid died in April with the hotter weather.
tennisf
That’s Sara Snider who used to be an anchor here in the Bay Area. She’s always @ the worst stories because her reporting carries facts & ❤️
LordSlickRick
Why are people of color more impacted? genetic reasons? Less mask wearing? afraid of hospitals? obesity? racism?
WhackyDude
Also, people of darker skin lack production of Vitamin D which is not good for the immune system. Watch JRE podcast with Dr Rhonda Patrick
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Long-term racism leading to more underlying (and untreated) health issues, poverty, etc. Most of my patients got it from their (1/2)
(2/2) families who are all clustered into small housing with a few essential workers that brought it into the family.
doesitlooklikeigiveafuq
I had to go to the ER in Columbus Ohio last week. I was in debilitating and immobilizing pain. Because I didn't have covid it was still a
10-24 hour wait just to get into a room! They said they could give me some tylenol while I wait. These hospital workers have so much of
My sympathy. They have had to deal with so much. They had to look me in the eyes while holding in tears of immense pain and tell me
They couldn't help me. That can't be easy to do EVERY DAY because people won't take this shit seriously.
CrazyCatLad
I'd love to give her a hug after we're both vaccinated.
tlamstrike
Whole world has a 1 year backlog on hugging that needs to be made right.
I’m seriously thinking about getting one of those inflatable T-Rex costumes, just so I can start hugging fuckers again!
I'd suggest checking out the local military surplus store for an CBRN kit and shower:
n0n53n53
uhhh ya may want to rethink that https://www.sacbee.com/news/coronavirus/article248407560.html
Well shit. Waiting for the vaccine it is then!
Dellaaa
? I would take a hug from a T-Rex ?
BeeAtPeace
Raises hand for hug when safe.

In case you aren't from DC, walter reed is < 20min drive from the white house, as usual this clown is wasting our tax dollars on himself

I'll never understand why people can't just stop being poor
WarriorFox
Everytime I see this clip, I can't help but feel he's a puppet with someone's hand up his ass. Very animatronic.
Lovingimpaler
Worst. President. Ever!!!
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
The fact that some committed literal genocides and I still have to think "is Trump still worse" says a lot.
notacatdefinitelynotacat
The thing is that as horrible as Jackson was, he lived in reality, he did horrible things but it benefitted the nation, trump only damages
SophieClockwise
Make no mistake, they were just more successful at their atrocities; Trump would still absolutely go there if he thought he would profit.
icomeheretobedistracted
What is this clip from? Did he just stand there and make stupid faces?
picklerickroll
Trump is made of stupid faces, industrial strength tanning cream, and bullshit.
One of the first Republican debates for the 2016 election
SleepIsNotMyFriend
I don't believe in god. But when she folded her hands i just lost it. Don't remember the last time i cried so much. Also, nice username @op
It got me too with her hands. And thanks! Lol.
punitivepeak13
Are we getting distracted from pandemic?
mjangelvortex
We kinda are.
jody92154
Expect PTSD in the future.
It's already happening. The amount of trauma this is leaving on so many people is already giving some people survivor's guilt.
OCTAVlAN
I cant imagine how that takes a tole on someone's mind set. I have had 4 friends get covid. 2 dam near died. One is still on hospital-
It fucks you up. Watch them and the family's all suffer from it too. The isolation, the rules and laws they have to follow after.
Anyone calling covid bull shit still, really needs a bitch slap.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
My grandpa died, not of covid, early into the lockdown. He was super outgoing and involved in the community, he should have had a funeral /1
with hundreds of attendees. Instead he didn't even get a funeral. They were allowed 10 people at his gravesite to watch the coffin /2
lowered. His 5 children, their 4 spouses, and 1 priest. He said a prayer and it was done. They just went home after, they couldn't go to /3
OdeToBouncer
My wife lost her pregnant niece and her father in four days over New Years. We are ALL going to lose people. And we didn't have to.
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
Crazy thing is... Dem voters are much harder hit by Covid naturally. They are in densely populated areas, they are the huge majority of...
essential workers. Jared's plan to let the disease run rampant and kill off a ton of Dems actually WOULD have worked if they hadn't...
Also convinced all their voters to refuse to wear masks or socially distance. Had people actually treated this like a pandemic...
The numbers would be muuuuuuuuch lower, but they'd be almost entirely democrats dying. Trump actually worked to both kill more people...
AND kill his own base which with even moderate safety measures would have been relatively pretty safe.
yeehawbuckaroo
Bless her. She must be so emotionally exhausted seeing death day in and day out. This is also how our drs and nurses are feeling.
coloredgreyscale
And on the other side there are too many people out partying or rioting like there is no pandemic, and actively refusing to wear a mask.
I agree. She’s just spent and over it.
KillerTofu69
You can only hold it together for so long. I really hope people seek the therapy they desperately need now and when this is over
Imgerruinedimger
Honestly, at this point most of the people in my hospital are just angry and over it. I kinda stopped caring late last year.
That's a typical pattern for crisis. 6 months in you hit a wall and get numb. Just be aware, all the emotion hits when it's over.
I survived the middle east, I'll get through this.
Fair enough. PTSD isn't nearly as bad the second time around.
notcleverever

GenghisKhan2020
Thank you so much for all you do.
Booklover4life
Just want to hug you for all you do. Please know some of us still admire you. Thank you.
Ccnati
Please don’t hug us, we spend too much time around covid, it’s a safety hazard for you
Can I hug your dog(s) instead? I like doggies
This is how they were feeling 3 months ago. 6 months of crisis is usually where you hit the wall. Then you get numb til PTSD kicks in.
Astaadi
As an RN... yikes, that’s about where I am now. Feeling very numb at work lately. My heart keeps breaking for families, even so. Taking care
of one that is dying tonight. He keeps hanging on and it’s torture for his family
Super excited for the PTSD to kick in :(
Well, fuck. I'm really sorry. My best unsolicited advice is a book: Pema Chodron - When things fall apart. Short and easy read.
Firehoser
Not only should she not apologize,this report should have more exposure. There are so many people who still think this hoax can’t touch them
MicahtheMartian
When I got the moderna vaccine there was a jagoff on a bullhorn screaming out that coronavirus is a hoax. I told him we know crazy is real.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
You can expose it all you'd like. The problem is if someone thinks it's a hoax, empathy is definitely not a virtue they hold.
babamulon
CNN should really let her rest for a while, get someone else on those locations. She has been around death for far too long.
mutableair
The once deniers in my family now say they would beat it easily. They don't care about the medical staff being overwhelmed either.
BjoernTheBear
How about identifying a beautiful free holiday island for covid deniers w/o hospital? Seems cheaper for society.
freckledkink
This clip has been on a lot of other major news broadcasts to emphasize how bad it is.
LCMcG
I can't speak for other places, but around here, this vid wouldn't change any minds that haven't already been changed. As far as people here
are concerned, it's just the flu and she's an overreacting lib or it's a conspiracy and she's acting. I've seen people whose families have
been DIRECTLY effected (meaning dead family members) continue to downplay and act like nothings happening, not wear masks, etc.
Agreed. I just can’t wrap my mind around why people think this is bullshit.
Godawful8888
If they only listen to right wing media they haven't heard it. Any of it
AlwaysInTheshadows
It's not all about what they believe. It's about what they think the majority of everyone else believes. It's crazy.
FireSolvesProblems
I can think of one reason and he's still causing trouble.
Because it's easier this way. And also it lets them be angry at their "enemies".
CarlottaVonSprockett
But the jaded pet of me thinks that if they already believe it’s a hoax, they’d watch this and say she’s an actress.
erischilde

It's CNN, so the majority of the people who need to hear that won't believe this is real.
YouWereSupposedToBeBulletPoints
I keep seeing friends on fb who are getting their vaccines who were also the ones who have been out socializing this whole time...
a lot of my 'essential worker' friends kept going out because their lives didn't change much. They still had to get up for work every day so
it didn't really change their routines. Now they're vaccinated while I've been staying home every day and have to wait who knows how long
amp99
People will mock her because she's "unprofessional" or "too emotional" (dog whistle), but only because they completely lack empathy.
ShifuYaku
I'd be so mad at people calling her unprofessional. It literally took all of her strength to not cry, and she still did. I feel for her.

thegriefmeister
Imagine having a President with that amount of empathy!
IveGotRedOnMe
Why imagine? I remember Obama holding back tears after the Sandy Hook shootings.
NoWonderImStillAwake
I only mock her for wearing that jacket in Los Angeles, I mean it's LA, not Jackson, Wyoming...
Maybe, and this may be a stretch, but maybe she's from somewhere warm
It never gets colder than sweater weather in LA, and this is coming from someone who lived there for 10 years, having spent my whole life in
warm climates in CA leading up to that...
I'm living here now. If she's from somewhere warm and is colder than how you feel, then why not wear a big coat? Lol what a simp
I don't think you know what a simp is haha
Everyone has their breaking point. I’m guessing covering 10 hospitals in the better part of the year will do that to anyone.
AND George Floyd's death, riots, covid. This poor woman has covered it all. 2020 has taken its toll. Hope she can get some help. PTSD.
OohReilly
And worse, having idiots tell you that what you're seeing doesn't even exist.
Even as the fucking breathing tube is going their throat!
SweetMystique
And soon as a woman starts to show emotion they act like it's ok to dismiss her. Its infuriating.
Apparently women are too emotional, but being the biggest crybaby in the US qualifies you for cult leadership.
true but men too. If a man breaks down on TV he'll be lambasted
Taxicat
Unless it’s rage. That’s because they’ve convinced themselves that male rage isn’t an actual emotion.
Tulayne
I remember when Shep Smith broke down on air when he was covering Katrina. Never had more respect for the man than that moment.
We need to Normalize showing emotions. We arent robots!
That's toxic masculinity right there.
Soufange
And now I'm pissed cuz I'm thinking about that guy talking about jumping out of a 3 story window to escape his girlfriend and people laughed
That's true, but at least it's unlikely he'll be pre-judged as being "too emotional".

AND George Floyd's death, riots, covid. This poor woman has covered it all. 2020 has taken its toll. Hope she can get some help. PTSD.

And soon as a woman starts to show emotion they act like it's ok to dismiss her. Its infuriating.

Apparently women are too emotional, but being the biggest crybaby in the US qualifies you for cult leadership.

true but men too. If a man breaks down on TV he'll be lambasted

Unless it’s rage. That’s because they’ve convinced themselves that male rage isn’t an actual emotion.

I remember when Shep Smith broke down on air when he was covering Katrina. Never had more respect for the man than that moment.

We need to Normalize showing emotions. We arent robots!

That's toxic masculinity right there.

And now I'm pissed cuz I'm thinking about that guy talking about jumping out of a 3 story window to escape his girlfriend and people laughed

That's true, but at least it's unlikely he'll be pre-judged as being "too emotional".
