This is the one that irks me the most. The counter-protest by the nurses there is suspect. I'd like to think that the nurses who are really taking this thing seriously wouldn't risk exposing themselves to the virus in a setting like this and risk reducing the healthcare workforce by having to quarantine themselves.

Wow, I actually agree with DtG. Yes, I'm tired of it. They act like the most entitled people, even way before this, this just made the smugness worse.



its as though they are the fire dept and getting hero worship for putting out a camp fire

I'm tired of being assured by the MSM, (double pinky swear, guise) that hospitals are "overwhelmed," "like war zones," etc one minute, and then after the break...

"On the lighter side, check out this TikTok video from the staff at Our Lady of Erectile Dysfunction Hospital in NJ, blowing off steam as their dance video to Young Defendant ft Li'l Kool-Aid's latest track goes viral."

It's what we do to make people feel better about professions when we don't want to pay them more.

They aren’t making bad money though.

Yes. I’m appreciative of them but their patting themselves on their backs is a bit nauseating.
Nurses and teachers are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Just ask them.

Despite the fact that all Filipina women believe they're destined to be nurses, I assured my wife we would get a divorce if she went to Nursing School.

There is nothing hero about having one of the least dangerous jobs (not even in the top 50 injuries or deaths per worker).

Sorry. Not impressed.

Quit if its so bad

We’ve been witnessing a grand battle since the inception of FB for the title of biggest attention whores. In this final battle the nurses crushed the teachers. Oil field baws came in a distant 3rd.

The overwhelming majority of RN’s will never see a China Virus patient, but to hear those dumb bimbos speak, you’d think that they are all that stands between man kind and global annihilation.

They are parrots just repeating what they are told.

I would bet $10 that guy is a member of a progressive protest group and is not in fact a healthcare worker.

Going to see a lot more personalized license plates with the initials and RN. ABC RN. So pathetic.

I’ll tell you what pisses me off about them. They preach for everyone to stay home, but guess what? They are getting a paycheck plus probably overtime. Many strong Americans are losing everything they have for a virus that will probably give them mild symptoms at worst. Time to open this got damn country up.

Wife is an RN, she agrees that this shite is incredibly overblown.

Had an argument with her cousin who is a frontline warrior (X-ray tech) about the stupidity of the whole situation.

No, but they do a lot of the work, most of them think that they know as much as their doctors, and they make a tiny amount compared to their doctors.

Thus, we pat them on their backs, so they don't want to dig into more of the money.

It's the same thing that we do to our policemen and military people.

I'm sick of MSM exploiting nurses for sound bites and fake/staged photo ops.

And I have nothing but respect for nurses.
