Nurses Fight Back Against Anti-Lockdown Protests Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

A viral video of Denver, Colorado, healthcare workers pushing back against anti-lockdown protestors is circulating on social media.

News reports have revealed protesters in multiple cities blocking traffic to try and fight against coronavirus stay-at-home orders. Two frontline nurses in Denver decided to stage a counterprotest.

The video, reportedly filmed at a Colorado protest on Sunday, shows a woman hanging out of the window of a Dodge Ram truck with a sign that reads, “Land Free” while a nurse blocks her vehicle.

As drivers continue to honk their horns, the woman can be heard yelling at the nurse, “Go to China if you want communism.”

The nurses’ viral video has garnered reactions from Twitter users who have praised the healthcare workers for their work and their actions.

The heightened weekend protests began shortly after President Donald Trump’s“liberate” tweets on Friday.

Following the first protests in Michigan, Trump supporters in other states — including Colorado, Texas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, and others — began to flood streets to protest stay-at-home orders even as coronavirus cases and deaths continued to rise. Some protesters even created obstacles for ambulances trying to get to hospitals, according to reports
