Pregnant nurse tests positive for corona San Francisco
Pregnant nurse tests positive for coronavirus
A pregnant nurse in Brooklyn who was taking care of COVID-19 patients caught the virus. She then went on a ventilator and her heart stopped. Now, the woman who spent a career caring for
patients is a patient who needs caring for full-time. Shirley Licin sister of Silvia Leroy, 35, showed symptoms first in the mid-March and back then she was working in the labour and delivery unit of Brookdale Hospital which was having heavy
incoming suspected and positive cases right from the beginning of the pandemic. Shirley Licin said that the hospital didn't test any of the doctors or nurses even if they appeared
sick and so Leroy had to wait for a week to get tested but by then she needed a ventilator. Shirley said that her sister was asked to change her IV bag by herself and no one came to clean her which when she asked Shirley to "tell her story" to people out there as she felt left out and not cares in that hospital for which she had been working for seven years.
After the news spread, she was shifted to Mount Sinai in Manhattan where she got better care, a host of medications, including Remdesevir, which led to improvement. She came off a ventilator after a week but three days later the family got a phone call that she was in cardiac arrest and the doctors delivered a baby girl, Esther via cesarean section but the mother's brain lost four minutes of oxygen before she was resuscitated. The doctors are trying to figure out what led her into a cardiac arrest and now the family is struggling to get her into a rehabilitation centre to help her with the brain injury caused. Her family started a GoFundMe page where one can do their part to help her.

Man accused of shooting a cook in restaurant for telling him to wear a mask in Aurora
Authorities said that a man was arrested for shooting a Waffle House employee because he was asked to wear a mask inside the restaurant by the employee.
Kelvin Watson, 27, was arrested by the Aurora Police on a charge of first-degree on Monday.
According to the arrest affidavit, Watson came after midnight on Thursday in the restaurant, and the waitress asked her to wear a mask to get served. The restaurant was only offering carry-out service.
Then Watson returned with a mask in hands but did not put it on, and when he was again asked to wear the mask, he put a small gun on the counter and told the cook that he could "blow your brains out," said a witness in the affidavit.
The following night, Watson stepped in the restaurant and did not wear a mask again, and when he was again told that he would not be served, then he slapped the cook in the face. Then he shot the cook in the chest or abdomen outside of the restaurant as the cook ran to getaway. The cook was released on Friday afternoon from the hospital.
"We are deeply saddened and regret that this senseless act of violence occurred," Waffle House spokesperson Njeri Boss said.

Barbara Duriau had created a Facebook Page- View from My Window. This virtual platform allows millions of people to treat their eyes by viewing beautiful travel pictures.
Duriau was keen to know about the circumstances and reality across the world. She is a freelance graphic designer from Amsterdam, and in late March, she posted a picture showing the view from her window. When the lockdown started, she realized that everyone is stuck with the same view.
By a month after she created this page, more than two million people joined the page. This page has brought out stories of various people, and people share more than just their view.
Sarah Hill from Arrowbear Lake posted that she finds it interesting to look at pictures posted by others as she has travelled internationally with her husband. In mid-April, she posted a snowy landscape picture. Hill explained she wanted to post this as many would find this unique and would not expect to see in Southern California; she wanted to share her perspective from that little part of the world. Hill said her post got comments from individuals in Michigan right to Austria, and she's not the only one. Each upload receives uncountable comments from individuals everywhere throughout the world, sharing expressions of inspiration and support.
The creator, Duriau, expressed her will to publish a book with the pictures from this Facebook group, and she would donate the earnings for a social cause.
