Tina Black knows the horrors of Covid-19 better than most.Â
The licensed practical nurse has held the hands of seven of her favorite patients who died from the virus in the Covid unit at Schoellkopf Health Center, a nursing home in Niagara Falls.Â
She tested positive for the virus herself in the spring, experienced terrible headaches, and had to quarantine for four weeks in her bedroom, while taking precautions to avoid infecting her 16-year-old grandson who lives with her. We now have a glimmer of hope, she said.
Black said she wasn t anxious about getting immunized against the virus. I just know I wanted something to give to stop the deaths. That was really my main concern. I didnât want to make any more phone calls saying there is a change in condition. I didnât want to see any more pain and suffering. Not only in the nursing home, but in the world.
