Nurses all over the world including in the US are risking their lives to save COVID-19 patients. Hospitals and healthcare administrators are telling them to work without masks and other personal protective equipment or lose their jobs. Some nurses have come down with COVID-19. Some have quit their jobs. Many nurses have been fired from their jobs, simply because hospitals gave them a choice: lose your job or lose your life. Omar Moore chronicles a few of the nurses in the US who have been left unprotected and need your help. Call senators at 202-335-6015 and demand PPE protection for nurses. Also: call your congressperson at 202-225-3121 and demand the same. Also: Black women and health outcomes—a nurse in London dies from COVID-19 but gives birth, while a white woman in a coma in New York gives birth during the coma and survives. Also: Headlines, including that stimulus check you didn’t get; Steve Mnuchin tells you you can live on $1200 for 10 weeks, and much more. April 16, 2020.
