My nurse friend said the same thing. “I’m not a hero, I’m a hostage.” Unsafe nurse to patient ratios and reusing PPE, can’t quit or she’ll lose her house.

She is talking about lack of PPE, unsafe working conditions and people not staying home and following instructions.

She does not want you to call her a ‘hero’, instead she wants you to support her and other health professional by following instructions and vote for funding and safe policies for health workers.

Whenever this country starts calling you a hero you better get your affairs in order. It's not the compliment people think it is, it's just an acknowledgement that you're having to take unnecessary risks so others don't have to. 99.9% of these people would take being actually cared about and adequately supplied protection than being called a hero.

Calling people "hero" in today's terms is as meaningless as "thoughts and prayers". Save your hero talk and give me the proper PPE so I can do my job without the possibly of sacrificing my life in the process.
