‘Fight like hell’: Nurses protest near White House over lack of protective gear

The country’s largest nursing union demonstrated outside the White House to advocate for more personal protective equipment.

Members of the National Nurses Union stood 6 feet apart in Lafayette Square on Tuesday while holding photos of registered nurses who have died during the coronavirus pandemic. The union said in a statement that it was bringing “attention to the tens of thousands of healthcare workers nationwide who have become infected with COVID-19 due to lack of personal protective equipment.”
