So sick of this self-congratulating bullshit. I’m a nurse and I’m simply doing the job I signed up for. I could leave anytime I want! I’m thankful that I still have my job and can afford my bills, while other nurses are demanding hazard pay. Several nurses at my work have VOLUNTARILY furloughed and multiple units have closed due to cancellation of elective surgeries and refocused resources onto COVID. My state hit it’s peak on the 18th and cases have been plateauing since. I’m glad that people are thankful for healthcare workers, but there’s a difference between being a true hero and doing what you signed up for.
