00:02 - The novel coronavirus outbreak spreading across the world.
00:26 Nursing homes scrambling to increase safety protocol.
00:29 We're going to need medical capacity on a scale
00:32 we've never seen in the history of New York City before.
00:34 The Kohler facility on Roosevelt Island,
00:38 it is being immediately brought back online.
00:40 - I've been filming everything inside.
00:44 All of us be filming.
00:46 - I'm pissed off that we're like the forgotten one.
00:49 - I observed yesterday, ambulance after ambulance
00:53 after ambulance, bringing people in and out.
00:55 - Corona, corona.
00:56 You have me confused and confined.
00:59 - They put a patient in my room
01:01 and he's telling me that he got the virus
01:02 and I got underlying conditions like,
01:04 these people don't care.
01:05 - If this was an all white nursing home,
01:07 this would never happen.
01:09 - How long you think it'll take
01:10 before everybody in the damn place is infected?
01:12 But to me, that's a thorn in the goddamn lion's den
01:15 closing the gate.
01:16 - How do you sleep at night,
01:21 knowing that you're responsible

01:29 - Run by people who lack any vision.
01:31 - I don't think our mental health is looked after.
01:37 My God.
01:38 - A nursing home is ground zero,
01:41 but it just takes one person with a virus
01:45 and then it is fire through dry grass.
01:50 - Will I survive through these hard times
01:54 or will I become a victim of this silent killer?
01:57 - They say nobody knows,
01:59 but somebody always knows something.
02:01 - Now, this is being read after my departure,
02:05 just know I fought.
02:06 - Nursing home.
02:07 - Nursing home.
02:08 - Blood and murder.
02:09 - Blood and murder.
02:10 - But my soul, I didn't let the devil capture.
