    Ed Yong Retweeted Nebraska Medicine

    Context: Nebraska Medicine is one of the best-prepared places in the entire US for a new disease. They have *amazing* people & facilities. They knew the risks. They trained. They had contingencies on top of contingencies. If someone there is sounding this alarm? It. Is. Bad.https://twitter.com/NebraskaMed/status/1328758263463223297 …

        I visited & profiled Nebraska Medicine's team/center in my 2018 pandemics piece. They know their stuff. I would listen to them.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/07/when-the-next-plague-hits/561734/ …

        It’s not just nurses and doctors who are fed up and frustrated and willing to air it, it’s medical centres and hospitals as a whole.

        These folks are fucking heroes and need to be recognized. No stupid pots and pans banging at 7pm, but some real recognition.

        I think most nurses & docs just want people to stop politicization of the science and best practices. And understand this is not about “rights” it is about breaking the chain of transmission of a virus.
