Traveling nurses say conspiracies around coronavirus are 'an insult to anybody that's putting...

Keep doing what you do, ignore the Crowd who would not believe it even if they was testing Positive themselves

We are never going to know really how bad COVID-19 is in comparison to other respiratory diseases. I have been an RN for 17yrs and a critical care nurse for much of that and have seen both scary and busy before. For nurses seeing scary and busy like this for the first time coupled with the media attention, I see their concerns. What concerns me the most is how we as a medical field have allowed this to be different and be political. H1N1 in 2009-2010 did not have a vaccine, killed plenty, and we did not have drive through testing of the walking well. Hospitals did not get paid more for H1N1 and you did not see funding opportunities from COVID. We did not make decisions based on fear and largely waited for the peer reviewed literature that takes a good 6-9 months to really hit the streets. There is zero possibility to compare COVID-19 to the flu as the only people routinely checked are those feeling ill. The mortality rate for COVID will likely end up being lower than the flu simply because we are testing so many more than the flu.

For me, it is not about any conspiracy theories, is it the shit show we have allowed this to become. We think it is more of a micro-vessel vasculitis and thus the reason proning has been more effective than ventilators and yes this does concern me. A perfect example is early on they were saying do not take NSAIDs and now it seems to be just the opposite. They had no clue and we accepted the lack of peer reviewed studies to be released.

The worst part of this is the second and third order affects that will prevent future success at stopping diseases. We have no idea really how bad this is and people have died as a result of increased domestic abuse, more children abused, and millions without work. Next time they will just give a middle finger.

Healthcare is an evidence based practice and that has been totally thrown to the wind the last six months.

Traveling nurses are on the front lines, risking their own well-being to care for the sick and vulnerable. It is truly disheartening to witness the spread of conspiracy theories surrounding the coronavirus, as they not only perpetuate misinformation but also undermine the tireless efforts of healthcare professionals.
