Chris Cuomo makes an impassioned plea for healthcare workers on National Nurses Day.
to celebrate nurses who are putting their lives on the line every day, and said they"deserve" the recognition of the holiday"now more than ever."
"As Churchill said during World War II, 'Never have so many relied on the efforts of so few,'" Cuomo shared."You've seen the images of them working overtime in crowded hospitals. Some without enough PPE… Thousands have come here to New York City volunteering to help fight this." "Thousands of nurses have also paid the price for their efforts, contracting the virus themselves. The CDC says 10 to 20 percent of the infected are health care workers. Many have fallen," he continued, before sharing the stories of a few nurses who have died amid the ongoing outbreak.
Cuomo explained that, across the country,"There have been celebrations in their honor, with applause, signs, and messages of support on social media from everyone, including celebrities, politicians, sports teams." "But here's the thing. If you ask them, 'What can we do for you? What can we get you? What do you need?' To a person, no matter where they work across this country, they say the same thing to me: 'Stay home. Please do what you can to keep cases down,'" Cuomo continued.
