On August 5, thousands of nurses across the country staged protests
to highlight the lack of personal protective equipment and other
challenges they continue to face as front line workers in this
pandemic. According to media reports, in California, 100 health
care workers have been killed by Covid-19 and medical workers
account for 20% of all infections in some states. Nurses are
demanding that more be done to protect them. We'll hear about what
how nurses are coping and what they need for a safer work
environment.
