Texas nurse describes ‘The Pit’ in one Covid-overrun hospital where patients go to die

A travelling nurse based in Texas has described the “horrific” conditions she’s experienced while working in hospitals overrun with Covid-19 patients.

In a 50-minute emotional Facebook Live, nurse Lawanna Rivers criticised University Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, and some of the hospital’s doctors for how they were treating those diagnosed with the novel virus.

She claimed doctors sometimes refused to provide treatment to patients.
