New York, May 12 (RHC)-- The Intercept is reporting that Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx is investigating a nurse for sharing footage with the website that shows medical workers speaking out about the lack of protective equipment and critical supplies they were facing. 

A nurse in the video blamed the passing of a fellow nurse from COVID-19 on the government’s failure to provide them with proper resources.  The nurse under investigation, Lillian Udell, is part of a group known as the “Radical Nurse Squad,” who are organizing nurses at their respective hospitals amid the pandemic.

In neighboring New Jersey, where half of the over 9,000 COVID-19 deaths have been linked to nursing homes, a Veterans Home in Paramus is now reporting 72 fatalities, and the number is expected to keep rising.
