A nurse describes her experience working on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic. She details the extensive protective equipment worn, including masks, gloves, gowns and face shields. Entering the ward feels like "walking into a bubble" where all sounds are muffled. During shifts, patients include those she was treating before who now work in the ward. Shifts are long and difficult, with thirst, hunger and the need to relieve oneself unable to be addressed due to the protective equipment. Removing equipment carefully at the end of shifts is important to avoid contamination. Though shifts end, the fight against the virus is just beginning.
