Yesterday I was part of an intimate conversation with Governor Newsom. I hope I represented nurses well. Among many topics I expressed concern over nurse ptsd and burnout. Safe staffing, ppe, profits in healthcare. @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom@shesinscrubs@SweetRnHustle

Did you know…that 95-99% of polio cases were asymptomatic? And that survivability was much much higher than C19? <1 % were paralytic polio and of those that got it, even less involved respiratory muscles,and of THOSE only 5-10% died? But we all got the shot and killed it anyway?
