'Stay home for us': Doctors and nurses share message during pandemic

Health professionals are using social media to share the best weapon we have to fight COVID-19.

The photos are all different, but the signs are the same: “We stayed at work for you. You stay at home for us.”

Dr. Sandy Simons, an emergency medicine physician based in Virginia, took to Twitter with a picture of herself holding up the handwritten message on Thursday. In the photo, Simons is seen surrounded by six fellow hospital employees who are all wearing face masks.

“Right now in Virginia, it’s the calm before the storm,” Simons told TODAY Health. “It’s like standing on the shore and watching a tsunami coming. We’re scared for ourselves, for our parents, for kids.”
