I still do not think being young is an excuse. A bachelor's degree in nursing is 3 years. That would make a newly qualified nurse working on a respiratory ward where these COVID 19 patients would be admitted around 21 - 22. The same age as Ritwik. A teaching assistant would perhaps be the same age. There were consultant physicians over 50 who were seeing COVID patients first; retired doctors, nurses, pharmacists came back to work - perhaps the highest risk age group as numerous countries' retirement age is over 65. That young nurse's parents were not calling the chief medical officer or the secretary of state for health's office asking for a raise. Regardless of being the most deserving.
A lot of health care professionals' parents were very scared. Yet they carry on.
He could have handled it a lot better. His parents should have shown maturity.
I just cannot see how any of this is justified.
