New York nurses sue state, two hospitals over 'inadequate' coronavirus protection

- The New York State Nurses Association sued the state and two hospitals on Monday to force them to provide equipment and adopt safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the association’s members in the hard-hit state.

“These lawsuits were filed to protect our nurses, our patients and our communities from grossly inadequate and negligent protections,” said a statement from Pat Kane, the association’s executive director.

Hospital admin is another exposed disgrace why they cant or wont get adequate equipment is about more money in their pockets. I can get pleanty of legitimate n95 masks, & respirators, surgical gloves, sanitizer at a local gas station ! Its criminal how they treat nurses.

There is a global shortage of PPE right now, doesn't make it right but its true

I hope they win. These are the real front line workers as doctors sit in lounges, review charts on their laptops, and treat patients based on a 10 minute bedside visit.

Why don’t they have ppe? Because hospitals are a business and they are required to buy from medical supply wholesalers at a 500% mark up. They don’t have ppe because it costs too much to have extra stocked up. Want to by a chair for an er? It’s 1000.

I agree isn't the Federal Government the culprit in PPEshortage since TrumpAdministration sent 17.8 tons of medicalsupplies to Ch8na on Feb 7, 2020.

They should sue the federal government for that.

What Carmel, Indiana, did to help out New York City'The donation of tens of thousands of test kits by small Carmel to big NYC showed how Democrats and Republicans can work together — and what the federal government must do to help US cities,' Mayors Bill de Blasio and James Brainard write for CNNOpinion. Opinion NY has spend millions over the last three years to ruin Trump and his administration, he supplied everything that was needed during the crisis, hospital beds, medical staff , ventilators etc and all he received is a bad tongue from these two asshole Dems. Why should he help? Opinion I’m sure Indiana did not need those tests as 100% of the states citizens have been tested! Opinion What Brainard needs to be doing is focusing in on the serious racism problems within his police department in Carmel Indiana.
