I trust nurses (collectively) more than I do any other profession. I do not believe that either they or doctors are lying about conditions in hospitals.
I agree. When it comes to pandemics primarily I trust immunologists, nurses, doctors, scientists, and other medical and health care professionals. Nurses and doctors are making very significant sacrifices, sometimes even with their lives.
The idea that all front-line medical staff are engaged in an emotional blackmail campaign trying to control everyone else's behaviour is a myth brought on by media slant and social media mob mentality. This doctor and his wife (also a doctor) disagree with the measures we are taking.
