Nurses and other essential workers across the country are in desperate need of supplies to help fight the coronavirus and prevent themselves from contracting it, but Ivanka Trump thinks they need the Internet more.
Personal protective gear is more important than Internet access right now, but Ivanka Trump seems to think that being able to get online is what these workers need most, which is why she decided to say it out loud on Twitter.
Women are essential helpers during crises — but they need access to the internet | TheHill #WGDP https://t.co/fhLjzTFCyz

Internet access is good and all, but not nearly as necessary as medical gowns, hand sanitizer, gloves, ventilators, tests and other supplies that are running perilously low, something Twitter users reminded her in response.
They prefer access to tests. #Priorities

Boy he really knows how to treat Women. Am I right?
On Sunday, Trump got defensive when a reporter asked him why his administration had not done more to prepare. He told CBS’s Weijia Jiang to “lower her voice” and to take it “nice and easy.” pic.twitter.com/IUijgtI59b— Greg Proops (@GregProops) April 20, 2020
I’m not a “helper.” I’m a leader, working round the clock to manage the impact of a global health crisis on my CHC and the community it serves. My job would be SO MUCH easier if we didn’t have to spend hours and hours a day soliciting donations of PPE just so we can stay open.

I wish you didn’t have access to the internet.

You know what else provides essential help during crises?
* People staying home after saying it’s essential (instead of hypocritically flying to NJ for Passover);
* Adequate tests and PPE… the kind your “Daddy” fails to order;
* Listening to Dr. Fauci, not Don’s constant lies.— Sonya007 (@Sonya007) April 20, 2020

So, Ivanka should probably do more to get essential workers what they really need instead of focusing on what they don’t need. That would actually make her a helper.
