‘True heroes’

Dear Editor:

After we first meet the efficiency of the hospital routine, and we are  escorted to our new bed, then we are met with a smiling nurse, and  all at once, all  our worries are gone!

We seldom think of the private lives of these “angels of mercy” who spend their whole  days  just caring for us.

But now during this pandemic, we discover they are not even  able to relax at home, but have to protect their own family from  a possible hint of the contacts that they have had with patients.

They have done so by avoiding any contact with their very own loved ones, by sleeping in trailers or garages! Surely these are  our true heroes of this year’s Nurses Week.
