    3. What the good of us in the community can do to combat this hate
    4.Why do they wait until the community is excited or angry to be hateful
    5.Is this a community worth saving
    6.Should/could there be gatekeepers/leaders implemented so as to lower the risk of another toxic attack.

    Impact of COVID-19 Care on Nurses: Coronavirus: Our Strengths: Research Impact: Indiana University (iu.edu)
    This article focuses in on the mental health of nurses from seeing their patients get so sick, and they can’t offer much help. The article takes a different stance about how the nurses actually suffer mentally watching their patients be isolated and kept away from their families.

    Spacek, Brooke. ” A nurse’s notes from the frontlines of the Covid 19 pandemic” University of Texas ULA. 6th May. 2020,
    This was so interesting because of the point of view it came from, this was written from an actual nurse who is currently working during this pandemic. She mentioned some things you wouldn’t even think nurses miss, being that working in a pandemic is very different then regular times.
    Source four: Blog
    Levine, David. Us News. ” A day in the life of a nurse during the Covid 19 pandemic” 6th May. 2020,
    This is my favorite source because we get a point of view from a nurse who actually isn’t fearful of catching the virus and passing it on, because where she works is very reliable with protective equipment.
    Research Questions:
    What is the biggest problem nurses face working in the pandemic?
    Are hospitals doing enough to ensure the safety of their nurses ?
    What mental effect has this pandemic had on nurses ?
    Has any nurses died from corona?
