quote of the day
Each local government should make efforts to provide effective support, such as by setting up a consultation desk where medical personnel can discuss their issues easily.

Or maybe via e-mail, social media messaging or Zoom, given the pandemic.

This is a problem that has no justification. People are risking their lives to prevent a catastrophe and getting nothing for their troubles. There has been enough time to act already but authorities are still betting in things improving by themselves without having to do (or pay) anything.

I really do not understand what this means. Can anyone make it simplified for me?

Yes, that’s a typical professor’s proposition. lol Look, those people work hard, underpaid, overtime, are completely physically and mentally exhausted, see terrible things every day, a torture for patients and medical staff, dead corpses shoving around the building, the sound of the sick as background’music’. They just can’t and want additionally append to that long time such a stupid consultation and no-effect talking without any expectable results making their situation any better. No, they just want to leave the scene after that long day or night, take a bath and sleep , to forget that whole situation for a few minutes until the next shift starts.
