    A Day in the Life of an ER Doc on the COVID-19 Frontlines

    Craig Spencer

    Emergency physician Craig Spencer documented the overwhelming surge of suspected COVID-19 cases in New York City hospitals, highlighting severe resource strains where ventilators are depleting and staff are working under rigorous decontamination protocols. His account details a shift from routine emergency care to managing critical respiratory distress while enforcing strict social distancing to mitigate transmission risks amid a predicted exponential rise in infections. Ultimately, Spencer argues that while the virus spread cannot be stopped, immediate public adherence to staying home remains the only viable strategy to slow the outbreak and preserve life-saving medical resources.
