Seems like a pretty simple choice about whether you are with the medical professionals fighting Covid-19 or the people yelling at them (via Alyson McClaran) facebook.com/695359572/post…

Incredible: a woman waves a "Show me the data" sign at a nurse who has been treating Covid-19 patients for weeks. When a patient dies, does that count? (via @dcwoodruff)
Per @dcwoodruff, these nurses were not delaying the protestors - just standing at the intersection during the red light, reminding them of the reality of what is happening. Some people really, really don't want to face reality.

My feed is now filling up with people who say the nurses should be working, not wearing protective gear, or best of all, they are crisis actors.
