I’m having a hard time tweeting. I’m not sure words can capture my tears & sorrow that my frontline colleagues are without PPE. But if they can provide the essential care surely I can write a tweet to honor & acknowlege their gift of service – at Alexandria, VA

"Interview nurses. Journalists typically quote doctors rather than nurses as expert sources, even when nurses’ experience and knowledge is more relevant. Especially with infectious disease control, nurses can offer critical information and perspective." shar.es/aHogu4
