Healthcare workers in North Carolina held a socially distanced counter-protest as residents rallied against the state's coronavirus lockdown.
In North Carolina, one of these protests was held Tuesday. Only this time, lockdown protestors came face-to-face with a powerful counter-protest. Healthcare workers from area hospitals were there, in their scrubs and masks, standing in a formation that allowed them to stay the appropriate distance apart from one another. They stood stoic in the face of the protestors, allowing them to see the real human cost of their selfishness.
“They’re putting me and my family at risk,” Sekia Royall, a nutrition specialist who works at O’Berry Hospital in Goldsboro, said . “My daughter and I both have pre-existing conditions, and if someone gets the virus at our facility, it will spread like wildfire. For some of our patients it could be fatal.”Carrie Shropshire, a medical student at Campbell University in Raleigh, added, “We take an oath to ‘do no harm,’ and these protesters are literally causing harm.”That’s what this all comes down to, really.
