Hi there -- “At the EvergreenHealth hospital in Kirkland, Wash. -- just a few miles from the nursing home at the center of the U.S. outbreak -- and in Paterson, N.J., two emergency physicians are hospitalized in critical condition with COVID-19, according to their professional association. It is unclear whether the doctors, in their 40s and 70s respectively, were infected at their hospitals or in their communities, the American College of Emergency Physicians said.”
That report is from The Washington Post. It tells a familiar story -- a story of hardworking Americans who are literally giving their all to do their jobs, treat the sick, and heal the nation.
But right now, those healers on the front lines are being given a single-use mask -- and told: “use it until it breaks.”
We won’t do the same to them.
Thank you for everything you do,
