Iris Meda retired in January excited to start her new life. After a 35-year-long-career as a devoted registered nurse, Iris had planned on spending more time with her grandkids, catching up with her siblings, and joining her local senior center.“She was really surprised at the turn of events,” Selene Meda-Schlamel, Iris's daughter, told NBC News on Tuesday.
“She anticipated a life where she would meet someone, get married and raise a bunch of kids,”Selene said. “But my dad told her that she was really smart and he talked her into getting her GED.” “When she started the job there weren’t a lot of students in the classroom so she felt comfortable,” Selene said. “She was worried about the risks but she felt she had enough PPE and enough distance from the students that she would be okay. I don’t know if there was any point at which it was clear to her risk was significant. I think that she downplayed the risks for her love of teaching.

False Narrative brought to you by the low ratings tabloid entertainment network MSNBC.

This is just awful 😪
😪🙏❤️

WeaponizedVoter She died a hero. May she RIP.
🙏🏻
So sad🙏🏼😢
Scaremongering intensifies
RIP. Highly underpaid/ignored frontline workers
Ironic
Good rest her soul. Her sacrifice will not be in vain. The ultimate sacrifice.
GurrdyGirl She is an American patriot and hero. She should be heralded as such.
Rest In Peace Miss. Iris Meda. May the Supreme Being hold you close forever and comfort your family. An American Hero.
💔
So sad! Why are so many covidiots hateful when it comes to basic human decency? Masks are not about taking away your freedom they’re about keeping health care workers from dying.
RIP, American Hero!
Guantánamo is the best place for Trump, he should not be allowed to walk after he’s out of the White House so the unrest of our Country will end! They should do the same for his family members, and some GOP Senators. Our Country will restore sanity after their gone!
There can't be a greater to her memory that to wear that mask to protect ourselves and others. Refusing to to wear a simple mask is like waging biologic warfare against innocent people. Worse than conventional wars.
Prayers
While DT & GOPs debase Drs & RNs refusing masks & social distance, spreading airborne virus w 250K dead & 12mil infected, Iris a real US-hero goes back 2 help, bring sanity 2 our sufferings & loses her life. Heaven added an angel. ❤️u Iris. coronavirus
RIP.
Help our HealthcareHeroes Stay home 🏠 Wear a mask 😷 Wash your hands 🖐🧼🤚 Physically distance 🚺......🚹
The world has been blessed to have such a beautiful person to have been here to help us thank you
RIP. Condolences
God bless her

maddow While everyone is sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner I need to be in Columbus, Ohio, talking w/ the last people to see my daughter On Feb 7, the hospital said she was well & looking forward to the ride home She never made it home Please help me~
maddow Thank You, R.I.P. God’s waiting on YOU with a Celebration of Love. America Thanks You. .
😢
maddow This is a real hero. She should have a statue in the town square.
maddow This is very saddening
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 so sad
This took my breath away. May her spirit soar! A true shero
Maybe she shouldn’t have returned to work, just sayin. If you are in the At Risk group shelter in place until the vaccine is available. StanfordICME 👨🎓
Damn!!!! That’s messed up
God Bless You always.
Truly devastating. A hero indeed.
Apparently she was showing them what not to do by example. It's nice she wanted to help this virus is most dangerous to at risk people such as the elderly probably should've stayed retired.
Oh noooo!
she wanted to make money.
So sad
maddow Very honorable of her and bless her . But not very smart or practical at 70
maddow God Rest Her Soul ❤️
That is so completely horrible. As a nurse I commend her selflessness and desire to help others even when she didn’t have to. As a person I thank her for being an amazing person who I have no doubt will be missed greatly.
She was a hero.💔🙏
😰
She deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor! What a beautiful and giving person! A true American hero! ❤️
maddow RIP to a real hero. My thoughts are with her family.
maddow Rachel knows what's up...
💔💔💔💔
Bless her heart. Rest In Peace dear lady. Prayers for your family.🙏🙏
God Bless her and her family.
maddow United States is a Third World Country in a Gucci suite.
I'm tired of people saying ish like, 'It only affects the elderly...' WHAT? The elderly aren't human beings? If you're of a seasoned age you truly are worthless to us? We have lost 260,000 AMERICAN CITIZENS! This is unbelievable! All due to incompetence and lies. COVID
Thank you.
An American Hero ....! Thank you ! Her family has to be so proud of the strength and dedication she demonstrated to us all !! God bless her and her family!
🥺🥺🥺
We thank her
What happened with the nurse that said people were denying they had covid on their deathbed?
Any underlying conditions ?
