A Nurse’s struggles from the FRONTLINES

They have to fight to get tested. And when they test positive for #covid – they are quarantined in a hotel room, all alone, without any support. Unless they are really sick, they are expected to show up for work (even if they are positive with the virus), where they struggle to survive while taking care of other patients. These are just some of the revelations Nurse Gem Scorp boldly revealed during this interview, as he gave us a glimpse of what it’s like to battle on the #frontlines.

He has been a nurse in New York since 2014. He started his nursing career in the Philippines in 2002. He is also a father of a 4yo son whom he says he hasn’t hugged for weeks, even before he tested positive for the virus.

As we continue to #shelterinplace – we aim to share relevant and accurate information and tools to help the public manage during this time of global pandemic.
