As we see hope in the pandemic in the United States, let us never forget all those who sacrificed in service to our public health - especially nurses. So much loss. So much of it unnecessary, which just adds to the heartbreak.

For May 12's International Nurses Day, 400 pairs of white shoes were displayed in D.C., to symbolize nurses’ lives lost to COVID-19. The event was organized by National Nurses United, which is calling for safer, enforceable standards for PPE.
