front line workers during the virus

[pamgarner]

we love our 1st responders, nurses,and doctors,let us remember the rest of the people that work the front line.I use to sell medical uniforms and all the hospital departments are under severe risk.let us not forget housekeeping that have to sanitize the hospital daily,the lab workers taking blood for testing,cafeteria working that still have to show up to feed everyone in the hospitals,maintanance workers who Must keep everything running,the hospital administrator making life saving decisions everyday,certified nursing assistants that must do everything else the nurses don't have time for,sponge baths,getting people in showers and etc..I use to moan and groan if I would get a hospital bill,never again!Thank God and bless them.I am sure there are others that put themselves are risk daily with this virus like my grand daughter an xray tech.let us not forget that there are other severe patients,heart attacks,strokes.copd,etc.We are at a different war and all we can to is pray.

Great reminder! So much to pray about.

We have a friend whom we haven’t seen for a few years. He is finally being weaned off the ventilator he was on due to the virus. There is a long chain of people involved in that process, and we thank God for them all.

This is definately a great reminder! When I first starting working at the hospital, I worked in the food service dept where we would put items on the patient's tray or take all the orders up to the patient floor and deliver them to each patient. Later, after I finished college, I worked in the IT dept until I had a bad relapse.

Sometimes we forget all the parts that make the wheel go round and work.

Stay safe everyone!

And grocer store workers, hardware stores, dollar stores, drive in restaurants (my grandson works at Boston market required to wear a mask but not provided with one👹), truck drivers, postal workers, UPS, etc. so many keep going and are at risk - but yes those dealing with Covid patients up close and personal greatest risk. “Prayer changes things”. Let us now pray for national unity - a new problem. God help our nation.

God is aware and probably shaking his head saying "those fools are going to kill themselves"we do need help

To your list let me add all those who help keep the lights on, the food on the table (those who grow it, transport it, sell it) and all those other functions that keep us safe in our homes.

I haven't forgot them,I was thinking how complex this all is,my mind was on hospital alone, there is sooo much.I saw mcdonalds got a sneeze guard at there drive thru,an opening large enough to take payment and hand you your food,i don't want them risking their or my life for a cup of coffee,who would have thought it would come to this?

I pray everyday at 8pm specifically for our medical workers, 1st responders & police & fire depts, grocery & pharmacy workers. Then everyone else that has to deal with covid19 & all other infectious diseases. I truly believe prayer works.
