Dear health care providers, we see you. You have given more than anybody could ever repay you for. Thank you for your selfless care of others. You are everything.

Doctors deserve a special day to be honored this is a lot for them but God got y’all ❤️

This is Trump's inept Administration and his fellow GOP associates who don't care for the people they are suppose to represent and protect this has been a major disaster for America!

[kristopherjay]

Instead of are leaders playing politics! They need to be on this! Stop fighting like babies with one another!! come together! And fight this!!

[kenmtb]

They are the heroes in these dark times. GOD bless them.

The dislikes are from people who don't think the virus is real.

"Health care workers are at a breaking point" motivating us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to #ConvinceItForward for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica

[thetruth]

It's sad that all these people think this virus is fake until its them on a ventilator. I pray that God has grace and mercy on us all. Lord let thy will be done. Thank you Jesus!

Pete Rickets towed the GOP line until he got it.

[michaelgaynor]

To everyone who dedicate their lives helping other's during Coronavirus give Thanks to you!

Most of us just don’t get paid enough to work in this field . My life is on the line every day . And people at fast food restaurant get paid more money . & we work with out days off most times . I speak for my self when I say we are under staff over work & under paid . Yeah that’s enough to have a mental break down .

[nonenone]

I am nurse working almost everyday for 12 hours a day. And we are short of staff in hospital. Is is frustating that there are still people who think that the virus is hoax. Please do social distancing and wear mask.

God bless all health care workers around the country and around the world 🙏

[wannabwizard]

Everyone in the world is getting the same advice from science ( WHO, CDC). In this country the management of the virus over to the governors months ago.

[SkepticalChris]

Doctors, nurses, healthcare workers. They're heroes all of them.

[jonah]

Hey, hospital doctors, nurses and staff, PLEASE reply to this comment... What hospital do you work at, and what is going on there? Is it filled up with legitimate covid patents (fighting for their lives) or is it empty? Are there any shenanigans going on there? I’m hoping to clear up the confusion... 🙏🏻❤️
