A Florida nurse working to combat "a cesspool of funky flu" in the emergency room has gained widespread attention from a viral video on social media urging people to take precautions to avoid influenza.
"Here are some ideas how to treat the flu at home — wash your stinking hands," she said in the video, which has since been viewed more than 5 million times.
"The biggest problem for me was seeing people come in to visit [the ER] and not only being exposed to this awful flu virus, but not taking the correct precautions to get themselves disinfected before going out in the world," Lockler told the Pensacola News Journal.
