Craig Spencer is an ER doctor in New York City.

He is experienced in treating viruses and he once survived the Ebola Virus! Yep! Crazy, right?

In light on the current situation in the world (the Corona Virus pandemic, if that wasn't obvious), Doctor Spencer tweeted 'a day in the life of an emergency room doctor during a pandemic' and revealed a very grim view of the situation at hand.

He also explained what a sad reality life current is for our front-line medical professionals. He

highlighted that the USA is being completely HAMMERED by this pandemic and that it's way too late to stop it. He explains that hospitals are running out of ventilators and that people NEED to take the virus seriously.

He talks about the fact he once was infected by Ebola Virus, but he fears COVID-19 and its severity. I repeat... HE HAD Ebola, he FEARS COVID-19.

He ends by explaining that it is far too late to stop this virus, but the spread can be slowed if people listen to professional advice, but they NEED to listen.

Craig had received many tweets from people who knew he was a doctor, so he decided to Tweet his day working during the pandemic.

Wake up at 6.30am

You stop. Mask up. Walk In. All he hears is coughing.

Every patient is the same. Young and old.

You're worried about a patient and have a discussion with her family...

Two patients in rooms next to each other, both getting a breathing tube.

Gets pages all day of people who cannot breathe.

Sometime in the afternoon, you recognize you haven't drank any water. You're afraid to take off the mask.

Wash your hands... twice.

Every patient is Covid.

Hospitals are running out of ventilators.

Before you leave, you wipe EVERYTHING down. Phone. Wallet. Keys... then you do it all again.

Walking home the streets are empty.

Your wife tries to keep your toddler away but she hasn't seen you in days.

It's really hard to understand how bad it is

The numbers will undoubtably skyrocket.

We were too late to stop this virus. Fullstop.

I survived Ebola. I fear Covid19

The internet has reacted to the virus with celebrities even weighing in.

This might actually be helpful....

Many thanked the doctor.

It must be shared.

Of course, the thank you messages kept coming.

Another doctor also weighed in.

As well as a nurse...

Very emotional
