WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"Who is going to stand up for the nurses in this country?" "We've been warned for years by epidemiologists that a serious pandemic was inevitable, yet here we are, still woefully unprepared for this and with inadequate supplies of PPE. Meanwhile, frontline health care workers get to be the test subjects for how little PPE hospitals can get away with providing." "We still have a decent supply of PPE [at my hospital] but I'm already terrified of getting sick or bringing the virus home."
