I am an ER nurse, showed up from day 1 of the pandemic, saved lives & lost lives, literally in the faces of those infected, got sick with covid from working directly with covid patients. I lost my job & insurance & workman's comp because I can't return due to long covid. Who cares for the rescuers? This is no different than the first responders that walked into the Twin Towers, showing up in the face of catastrophe and doing their job. We need congressional support to care for the caretakers.
