Please read

Some of the public continues to believe the phony Facebook Doctors and the Social Media alleged experts instead of listening to our Healthcare Workers.  All this is fueling what started with fighting a virus we did not know enough about when it started affecting us.  That lead to a lot of flip flopping as new things were learned which in turn lead to mistrust.  Political involvement to discredit the other party only increased the mistrust.  It pains many of us to see our healthcare workers belittled, threatened, and mistrusted and this added pressure on them when they are putting themselves in harm's way to care for the sick increases the mental pressure, depression, and burnout they are experiencing.  Show your appreciation for a healthcare worker and stand with them.  They are doing a great job fighting a challenging disease and don't need to be facing an ugly mob of misinformed citizens led by Social Media Misinformation.
