Coronavirus standoff: Photos purportedly show Colorado health care workers at odds with anti-lockdown protesters
April 20, 2020 / By Greg Norman | Fox News
A series of dramatic photos purportedly show a pair of health care workers facing off against drivers protesting Colorado’s coronavirus lockdown.
The duo, clad in scrubs and N95 masks, stood their ground in the middle of a crosswalk as thousands converged on the State Capitol building in Denver on Sunday in opposition to a stay-at-home order and business closures aimed at containing the outbreak.
As of Monday, statistics show there are nearly 10,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and 420 deaths in Colorado – but, at the same time, hundreds of thousands of residents have recently filed for unemployment.
“They were blocking the roads until the police force stepped in,” Alyson McClaran, who captured the images, told the New York Times. “People were putting their cars right up against them.”
