snip-"Medical professionals are telling terrible stories of what they're seeing, including in Franklin County, the first county in the state, to go to the highest alert level purple.

“I have seen illness and death on a scale that I have never seen in my career. I have admitted families. I've had to put spouses next to each other while one or both die,” said Dr. George Onderko, a nocturnist at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center, specializing in overnight care.

snip-"Onderko said he's been confronted by COVID patients who say they can't have the disease because it doesn't exist.

“Every night, every night we deal with folks who don't believe they have COVID. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in COVID because it believes in you,” Onderko said.
