Opinion: White House coronavirus task force is missing a nurse

Before the coronavirus pandemic took over every facet of life, the World Health Organization (WHO) had declared 2020 to be the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife. This year was intended to be a celebratory year for all nurses as it marked the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth, the founder of modern nursing who was also a statistician, scientist, and social reformer. However, 2020 has turned out to be an entirely different year for all of us.
