And when someone else calls them a liar, tell that person to shut up. Stick up for our healthcare workers, and let them see you doing it. Make sure they know you support them.At first, this seemed like an impractical suggestion.
So have some tasty food delivered to your local hospital’s COVID unit. Even if they can’t enjoy it during their busy shift, they can take some home. And the gesture — knowing that someone out there thought of them — is meaningful.“I really just love the hand-written notes,” Katherine, an ER nurse from Kansas City wrote. “Especially when they are written by kiddos.” This suggestion came up several times.
