Thank you for what you do, and the difference you make.

And the people you help and care for, and comfort.

And the lives you save.

When we see these idiots!!
THANK YOU for answering the calling.

The mask less ones haven’t figured out they need to protect their own friends and family. But they also are risking the life and health and mental health of medical personnel.

It is so unfair. None of you should be working more than a ten hour shift. You deserve time to recuperate. You must protect your own strength and health. I personally think that the grueling days and nights with insufficient rest is putting health care workers at severe disadvantage to surviving the virus. Drained down to the bottom of their reserves, and exposed repeatedly.

💗 😢 🕯

What a blessing! To be able to linger indefinitely, absolutely wracked by an illness you probably brought on yourself, and all your loved ones (big assumption on my part, but maybe you have some) getting to watch you waste away and die by inches over months, or even years.

Let's hope for the best. Imbeciles.

There's no way to pay or thank these nurses enough.

I heard something on the news this morning about how the REALLY hard work is done by the nurses, moreso than the doctors. I believe it.

I'm very sentimental, and I can't handle too many sights like this in a short time. I'm glad it was this one, though.

Both my daughters are nurses, on the front lines in San Diego. One is a senior in college, the other graduated last year, so they are mostly doing COVID testing, but they don't tell me everything, must be so difficult for them, for everyone. Fullerton is not that far away. Heartbreaking.

I'd go on a rant now against inhuman R's out there, but they are not worth the energy anymore. Despicable deplorables all of them.
