Nurse Resignations, Patient Skepticism, Mask Mandates
Reports from El Paso and Nebraska highlighted the strain on healthcare workers, including a nurse, Ashley Bartholomew, who resigned after a patient in the ICU compared COVID-19 to the flu.

Critics argue that healthcare professionals are being used to propagate specific political messages rather than focusing solely on patient care.
