Updated because too many people believe this woman is not real. I do. I know many DUer's will not go near twitter with a 10-foot pole, but it is where my #Resistance family is.
Also edited because I had confused her with another nurse who tweeted about her young children. AzRVResister had recently celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary.

There should always be some kind of link that ties to the post explaining it if the OP doesn't do it themselves.

(28,799 posts)and posted the link with screenshots of her tweets. I later read that her husband deleted her account. It's all I got.

I've been following her for about 2 weeks I guess. The first post discussed how she was away from her babies and her husband. The children must be very young. Later she posted that she was going into ICU to get her turn on a ventilator. The last post I saw from her she was off the ventilator. Then I didn't check for a day or two and she had died.
I assume her name is Gallagher. I did not know her personally.
She also posted a few days ago that if she dies make sure Trump is prosecuted.

(2,809 posts)To my healthcare comrades departed I pray, heaven help us expose these evil bastards.
Our little facility is running low on PPE, I'll probably be wearing home-sewn repurposed vacuum cleaner bags soon.
Godspeed, Sister AzRNRe.

(28,799 posts)reads a couple papers, talks to a couple people, and gives himself a fucking PhD in virology, epidemiology, public health, and foreign affairs. he's as fucked up as trump is.
and thank you for the suggestion. I plan on writing last wishes for my children and will definitely include instructions to place the blame where it belongs. And to make sure my foxbot siblings see it.

(1 post)I followed her too. I'm also a nurse. We have to be careful about the things we read on-line.
Surely some of her Twitter followers know her in real life and would have gone to the media with her story. She was supposedly married to a doctor and they both worked at the hospital where she died.
This is an actual list of healthcare workers who have died of COVID-19 . I don't see anyone that could be her .....

(27,995 posts)If an AZ nurse and doctor couple died it would be big news here. Also, the long string of numbers in both accounts indicate a bot and twitter has now removed the account.
Welcome to DU!
barbtries
(28,799 posts)i responded below regarding whether the account was a fake. can't rule it out.
barbtries
(28,799 posts)i don't know. there is not a lot of information available about the demographics. we know the numbers are much greater than we are getting.
it might be fake. it might be real. hopefully with the passage of time it will be able to be disproved or not.

Welcome to DU. It might be fake, it might be real.
barbtries
(28,799 posts)I believed she was real and followed her for some time. Now, I have doubts because I can't verify the information. I don't know her name.
But there is less reason to disbelieve in my opinion. We know we aren't getting the true numbers. We know health care workers who speak out are being threatened and even fired for doing so. We know they don't have the PPE they should.
If I thought it was fake I would remove the post. All I'm saying is I don't have her papers.

(73 posts)Thank you for being diligent! Twitter is a cesspool of fake stories. I won't go as far to say that this is fake, but it's definitely very smelly. Also, why is the account deleted now?
