Sick Of Ignorant People Not Believing In COVID-19, Nurse Quits Her Job In The COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit
The very first case of COVID-19 was identified almost a year ago—back in December of 2019. Since then, more than 56.2 million cases have been confirmed, with more than 1.34 million dying from it. And for some mysterious reason, even to this day, a vast number of people still refuse to believe that this virus is a serious one and it’s not playing games.
A nurse named Ashley (TheBlondeRN on Twitter) from Texas knows the situation from first-hand experience. The woman used to work in the OR, but recently, she was transferred to the COVID intensive care unit. After working with COVID-19 patients for a while, the woman decided to quit her job, and apparently, people’s ignorance and the amounts of disinformation surrounding the virus were the reason behind the tough decision she had to make.

Recently, Ashley decided to go on Twitter and publicly answer the common question she’s been asked quite a few times after quitting her job. “I resigned from my job last week and I’ve been asked several times, ‘What was the breaking point?’ I don’t know a specific one, but I’ll share this,” the woman wrote in her post. In the following tweets, Ashley explains the reasoning behind her decision.

I don't understand anti maskers. Yes I know that you don't want to wear one. But not wearing one will endanger a lot of lives. Stupid, selfish anti maskers

Even our own elected representatives are spreading the lies that COVID is overblown and is just a flu -- and they have no excuse, they have first-hand government information stating how serious it is.

No. It's not just "elected officials." It is REPUBLICANS. Let's not pretend.

THIS. THis nurse. Yes. After 3 months hiatus, I am back at the local hospital. I was losing it. We all were. I've been back since September. I got an MD but never went for the boards b/c my training was enough to break me. I just do patient information and advocacy. I see families who won't admit it's real, who say we're killing Grandma in the ICU, try to bust in ---- if they're not stealing PPE to sell online. We have ot have volunteers stand guard so no one yanks the hand sanitizer dispensers off the walls. THIS IS KILLING PEOPLE AT NEARLY TEN TIMES THE RATE OF FLU SO FAR... Quarter-million dead as of today, I read. OUr infectious disease briefing today said we'll hit 300-310K by end of the year. That's only six weeks more... And another 50-70K dead to come. For the love of God, life and country, TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, then take it even more seriously. Peace andSTAY SAFE

@WildBerry... I am not a licensed practitioner. I admit it. I have an MD. I hold a medical degree. That is not the same thing. I make the distinction. Ergo, your "HA!" makes me embarrassed *for* you. Honestly, your gloating makes me wonder if you ever learned about psychology... and are in DENIAL about your own pathology.
