Nurse Karen Lam thank you for all you do as a professional medical health care professional, I take my hat off to you and the 1000's of other health care professionals that give your all to your field of endeavor I too was admitted into the hospital but it was not due to the Covid19/ Caronavirus I was the victim of a hit and run accident I was on a motorcycle hit and left to die on the freeway like a dying dog...
But thanks to GOD for keeping me alive, the Sheriff's Search and Rescue team that came to rescue me after I called 911 and the entire Medical Staff Dr's, Nurse's and everyone who helped me I'm alive and doing well when it's all said and done the first responders and medical personnel are the real heroes...thank God that your dad is ok...I'm praying for you and your family may God bless you always.

This is why I wore a mask, use hand sanitizer and observe social distancing when I had to go out and stay at home during lockdown....i got loved ones working as nurses and paramedics....and the fear was lived with my MIL who was 76yo and my kid was barely wear a freaking mask for THEM!

Bless those working in the frontline! Thank u for ur sacrifice and dedication to your job! Do remember that there are people like who are on your side!!!! Much love!!!

First I applaud your strength and your courage and commitment wrapped in determination. I was moved to many emotions when you mentioned your fear of your people. I am Mexican by birth but a human by Devine intervention. I love your people. I understand what every American citizen feels about their loss, I have lost three in my family. Not once did it enter my heart or mind to blame the Asian world, if anything it brings me closer to my asian friends because now I share their grief. Continue to run your course and be aware you are not alone. You make me proud.
