You can easily say from your offices that 1:3 staffing ratios in ITU is acceptable, because you are in your office. Try caring 3 Level 3 patients when each one is going off,desat, hypotension, peri arrest when you only have TWO HANDS.

Achievement is when your non-believer Covid patient finally believes he has Covid and shares education about it to his community. Especially when everyone in his bay got tubed and died infront of him. I dont know if one would still be a non believer.
