This was posted on the wall of a Facebook friend today. I hope they don't mind me posting here, just trying to help those who are still not taking it seriously:

"I work for a large hospital system in Louisiana. Usually I transcribe strictly operative reports, as that is my specialty, but as elective surgeries have been cancelled I've been transcribing admission history and physicals to help keep up with the influx of patients. Almost every report I have transcribed today has been for a patient with COVID-19. Most are elderly, but there have been some who are younger and some who have other underlying health issues. This is NO JOKE! These patients are in bad shape and are decompensating quickly. Please...for the vulnerable...STAY THE EFF HOME IF YOU CAN!! I'm not exaggerating. I've been doing this job for 20 years and have seen trends come and go. I can tell you that the cases are starting to come in faster now and there is a very real danger of the hospital system being overwhelmed. This is NOT just another cold or flu. Please take the warnings very seriously. Please stay safe and take care, all of you!"
