A nurse who has experienced the effects of the Coronavirus first hand with her patients, reveals that red eyes could be a sign that a patient is very sick with the disease.
Chelsey Earnest, from the embattled Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington spoke to CNN,
“It’s something that I witnessed in all of them,” Earnest said. “They have, like … allergy eyes.“The white part of the eye is not red. It’s more like they have red eye shadow on the outside of their eyes.”
“We’ve had patients that just had the red eyes as the only symptom that we saw and go to the hospital and pass away.”
She adds that many of the patients who have had red eyes passed away days after.
“We’ve had patients that just had the red eyes as the only symptom that we saw and go to the hospital and pass away.”
“I’ve even had the disaster medical control physician say, ‘Do they have the red eyes?’ And I will say yes. And he’ll say, ‘I’ll find you a bed.’ It’s just something about this, the way that it affects these patients.”
There have been around 37 deaths from Coronavirus at the center.
