Ushna Shah in a recent Instagram post has apologized for her previous remarks in which she questioned the idea of hospital staff taking breaks in the coronavirus crisis. In a tweet that has since been deleted, Ushna had talked about how doctors and nurses could essentially be wasting “precious time” by uploading videos of themselves performing choreographed dances in hospitals.
In her deleted tweet she wrote “I’m curious to know people’s thoughts on doctors and nurses creating choreographed dances in hospitals. I’m conflicted: on one hand, I understand they need uplifting breaks, but on the other, these dances seem quite time-consuming, precious time-consuming. Thoughts?”
After receiving criticism on social media, Ushna has issued a statement where she took back her previous comments.
“I wanted to quickly post this to clarify and apologize for a tweet that has caused some offense. I am in absolutely no position to question anything doctors and nurses do to take the edge off. We owe them our lives,” she said.
