Editor’s Note: Josh Abetti is a registered nurse and pastor of Concord Community Church in Concord, VT. He is temporarily working with COVID patients in a Bronx ICU.

Many people have asked me, "What's it like to work with COVID patients?" This is my attempt to answer that question from my limited experience. It’s long but I ask you to read the whole thing. In this post I attempt to share my observations and those of other coworkers. I’ve tried to restrain myself from making definitive conclusions because there is still so much about this disease we don’t understand. I’ve also written this from the perspective of a nurse.
