>A group of registered nurses gathered outside the White House on Tuesday in honor of nurses who have died of COVID-19 and to demand pay raises for health workers.
>National Nurses United, the largest union of registered nurses in the country, organized the protest to call attention to the thousands of health care workers nationwide who were infected by the coronavirus because of lack of protective equipment, the union said in a statement.
>In a powerful statement, the names of U.S. nurses who were known to have died of COVID-19 were read aloud during the protest. Forty-six names were read, including two with a "name withheld" designation.
>“Nurses protested today because we need to stop the spread of the virus and to do that, nurses and other health care workers need maximum support for their heroic efforts"
>This was just the latest case of nurses or health care workers across the country demonstrating either in protest or in counterprotest.
>After Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf extended the state’s stay-at-home order until May 8, a wave of about 2,000 people congregated outside the state’s Capitol in Harrisburg to rally against the restrictions.
>A group of nurses showed up to counterprotest in Pennsylvania, standing about a block away from the main demonstration, holding signs asking those who opposed the stay-at-home mandate to return to their homes, according to CNN.
Here we see the dichotomy between the two groups of protesters in full display. One side is protesting on the side of life and one side is protesting on the side of death. Which side will you choose?

That mask on her face looks like a queen sized sheet on a king sized bed.
Jordan Brown
why are they never working?
Jonathan Stewart
Were your colleagues as plus sized as you?

Must've been a slow day, same deal with the dancing nurses and the counter-protesting nurses. Funny considering that hospitals are supposed to be inundated with patients.

>A series of photographs from photojournalist Alyson McClaran went viral, showing the counterprotesters dressed in teal scrubs with their arms crossed, standing in front of cars – often with passengers shouting at them through lowered windows.
>According to a Monday press release, the New York State Nurses Association filed three lawsuits against the New York State Department of Health and two hospitals, Montefiore Medical Center, Westchester Medical Center, and the Trump administration for failing to protect the health and safety of nurses treating COVID-19 patients.
I'm so PROUD of these women. What they are doing is nothing short of a miracle considering the total lack of support they have gotten from Trump.
Lincoln Sullivan
Who is going to pay you fatties if the economy tanks? Jesus. No sense of balance.
James Sanders
You dont get to decide what they are on the side of.
If I find your post douchey do I get to decide that you are on the side of douchbaggery?
Lincoln Cook
How are there so many fat nurses? Aren't they on their feet all day? Don't they know sugar will give you diabetes?
Nathaniel Robinson
Why aren't they dancing?
Kevin Hill
What NGO printed their signs?
Chase Hall
Nigga, nurses are sitting down 80% eating little debbie snack cakes and drinking monster energy, they get dehydrated from the monster energy and get thirsty so they quench their thirst with soda.
Jose Ross
Cows. Physically, mentally. No agency, not human.

>a bunch of college students pretend to be nurses to protest DRUMPHF without criticism Not fooling anyone.
how do you get so fat that a surgical mask doesnt cover your chin?
Robert Russell
Don’t ask questions
Noah Cruz
Why are these fat fucks standing around doing nothing?I thought they were in a war zone of some kind?
Caleb Rodriguez
I knew the push of the media and governments for showing how "brave" these nurses are was bullshit.

>I'm so PROUD of these women. What they are doing is nothing short of a miracle considering the total lack of support they have gotten from Trump. Oh fer fuck's sake, get over yourselves.
Michael Stewart
When do these lazy fucks work? Hospitals are apparently literal war zones, thousand of people are dying every day, and it's so bad that the whole world is locked down, but somehow nurses have time to post coordinated dances on tictoc and go to protests. This is bullshit.
Jack Turner
How are her knees supporting her dump truck shaped torso?
Jason Young
lol
Jackson Kelly
Anyone realize how gay protesting is? left or right. Has it accomplished anything?
Adrian Sanchez
Why the fuck should i listen to a bunch of fat fucks about being healthy?
Nurses are fucking stupid. If you've ever talked to one you know that, they hardly have clear, complete thought on anything complex. Everybody I know who works in retail has complained about Nurses being stupid and giving them a hard time.
Bentley Myers
Is there a TikTok video on the protest? The nurses made dozens of other tiktoks because of all the free time they have.
