This is what being human is about. This is the kind of leader we all deserve. Love from Canada ))

I am so tired of seeing my coworkers as well as myself exhausted, disgusted with people not wearing a mask and not caring how they harm others.

It’s hard to think after watching that woman’s emotional plea that she will be discounted by millions of Americans. And her first hand account and knowledge will not be heeded as a warning

All these republican political officials should be tried for crimes against

How good will it be to have a President capable of empathy.

This is really sad and shameful. No excuse. Absolutely no excuse.

Biden cried and made me cry too. How nice to see a president feel our suffering . Can't wait until Biden is our President.

All this on President Trump's watch ! What sort of person who is sworn to protect the people does absolutely nothing ?

If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered

I really hope bunker boy was watching this. When the nurse says “I felt like somebody was finally listening”

[auntiefan]

Thank you to all the healthcare workers. We are sorry.

[roddaman]

Wow - a president who is a human being not a self-promoting automaton. What a change.

[buddhimangurung]

Regardless of political views, Biden has the character and morals of a leader that bunker boy does not

This is so disturbing that these front line workers are having to work under these conditions. Unbelievable!!!

As a nurse on a covid unit, myself, I feel her pain.
We are still rationing our masks as well, and when I started to experience symptoms I wasn't able to get a test at my own hospital, so I got a test through LabCorp. Thankfully it was negative, and I was able to go right back to work, but with a shortage of PPE, it's only a matter of time before I get it too.

*Labcorp was amazing! They'll FedEx you an at home, self administered testing kit, then you FedEx it back to them, and I got my results back in 3 days. Oh yeah, the whole thing was FREE!👍

This poor nurse did not feel heard, , , , she SAID she does NOT know IF she and others CAN go through that steadfastness is wavering from exhaustion and fear for her patients, her fellow workers, ,,,her

This is what happens when an actual adult and not an 2-year-old disguised as an adult is president.

God bless our new president and his family for his care for all Americans

It’s so sad to hear this. I’m a Nurse in South Texas and the COVID infections here is absolutely horrible. We have had thousands of deaths here in the McAllen Texas area and it’s heartbreaking. I know President Elect Biden will do for us. I pray God hear our prayers and clear us from this deadly virus 🙏🙏✝️✝️

Trump rather go golfing than listening to this great lady.
