I was forwarded this tweet too many times today, and yes the statement caught my attention for 3 very important reasons:

1. People are constantly upset with what she shares in her tweet where they’re expecting good news, hope and good faith from frontliners.

2. Many are worried for her own physical, mental health and well being considering she is directly responsible for many under her care daily.

3. People are worried about our country too. And as humans, we always look for leaders to guide us to a brighter path.

I feel that a publicly known member of the country’s front-liners should not dampen the spirits of the people. Of course, I’m not part of the frontliners I cannot represent them, but we don’t need negative news, and we surely don’t need to get our hopes broken.

Yes, we are all humans and everyone goes through different complex emotions every day, especially during these trying times. But we cannot give up. We must speak good thoughts, good prayers and encourage everyone to keep their spirits up and do what’s right.

I empathize with all frontliners, all medical authorities and everyone working in this field. I mostly empathize with her, especially when she chooses to pour her feelings out in public and she is met with a lot of negative feedback. She is only being human, everyone. Please give her a break.

She has since deleted and apologized about the statement. I pray that she remains strong and dedicated to the fight against this pandemic and the obstacles that the medical frontliners face to make things right again.
