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.

9. Is there a background story for this?

[Ligyron]

13. Saved me the trouble

Thanks.

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

[barbtries]

17. I only know her from twitter

and posted the link with screenshots of her tweets. I later read that her husband deleted her account. It's all I got.

[SharonClark]

35. Then why post something you don't know

is true about someone you don’t even know exists?

[barbtries]

36. i posted the links.

as i said, i believe it to be credible. that's why.

[barbtries]

22. here is the last post from her twitter.

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.

12. All the lies, all the denial, all the blatant greed and corruption

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.

16. Who was that?

Was she a poster here?

[Bettie]

18. So sorry to hear this

[pazzyanne]

19. Peace and safe passage.

[world wide wally]

20. She died a hero

[rockfordfile]

21. The grocery stores are not doing enough to protect people

[TNNurse]

23. Trump and the GOP members of Congress

should be mentioned as a cause of death in every obit of someone who dies from the virus...you could add Jared as well.

[barbtries]

24. oh jeez, Jared.

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.

25. I feel this account was fake

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 .....

26. I'm pretty sure it was a fake account too

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]

29. her husband did not die.

i responded below regarding whether the account was a fake. can't rule it out.

[barbtries]

28. i looked it up too.

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.

[jberryhill]

31. " it might be fake. it might be real. "

Shall we make this the slogan for DU?

“Welcome to DU. It might be fake, it might be real.”

[barbtries]

34. sure.

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.

[Sophia_Of_PlanetX]

30. I have to be honest: The "This is her husband" tweet set off alarm bells in my head as well.

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?

[jberryhill]

32. That's some folks' idea of performance art
