Covid-19 Unit Nurse Says Hospital Forbade Her to Wear N95 Mask (ccn.com)

Before, I would have guessed that in the case of a global emergency, people will step closer together and help out each other where they can. But now it kind of looks like people will just continue with their old habits.

I mean hospital nurses have always been treated like they're disposable, with minimum health benefits and low salary. So in general, a hospital being unreasonable to maximize profits isn't really anything new. But I still feel surprised that they continue such a harsh treatment even now.

Plus, there's this happy world make-believe aspect of being extra strict in silencing bad press. It almost seems like this is desired or deliberately overlooked by politics. But why? Who stands to gain from such a situation?
