The way the enormous number of Covid deaths has been memory-holed frightens me. At the height of the pandemic I spent 7 months as a contact tracer and it was traumatic as hell talking to extremely sick people all day. Sometimes I'd call and the patient would have died just hours earlier and I'd end up tongue-tied on the phone with their newly alone partner, trying to offer any morsel of comfort I could. What a horrible time.
terrible, i'm so sorry to hear that. traumatic is absolutely the right word. so many have stories like this and i find it so tragic that people don't have the space or comfort to share them sincerely
