Anyone else flying patients that aren't intubated? Pretty risky job these days. |

Put on all the gear, tell them to try not to breath too much, put on my N95 mask that I haven't been mask fit tested for because we get a new style every other week, call the company afterwards and they tell us that we're low risk and we could have worn a surgical mask because there's no way we'll get covid from work. Go out of service after the flight for "decon" which consists of trying to wipe down every surface of the helicopter (good luck), wash flight suits, take a shower, etc...
Yep, all systems normal over here. How are you doing? |

We were told we would not fly covid patients. We did, and were told it was OK if they are tubed. Now the untubed ones are filtering in. Got to keep up the flight volume. |

Not really a big deal anymore. Most of our flights are Covid patients. Just gets a little draining after awhile. |

Med crews are ignoring safety protocols except when they may be on camera.
Decon is a joke.
Hand sanitizer has gone by the wayside.
Anybody saying different is just being impressed by the smoke and mirrors. |

but the uptick is a collossal one, and, just think, this is only November. Five or six months to go with the cold weather season and all that goes with it. |
