And they’d barely recognize me in my gear. But if they lose me to COVID I want them to know Mommy tried really hard to do her job. #GetMePPE #NYC”"[That moment] reflected a really raw and emotional moment for me in the hospital,” Griggs told “Good Morning America.

英雄的美國人民一定要努力戰勝這場災難，不要指望特朗普和无能的政府會帶來希望，希望是人民創造的！

With such a good doctor, humans will soon overcome the virus. Please protect them.

Hero of the US！

U will be their hero and I can just imagine what kind of children u will raise. U will make it thru this and u will save many others. U all are heros!!!💖

It's not safe. You should stay home with your family. You'll die helping people don't do that stay home with your loves

It's nice to see doctors and nurses earning their pay after all they have broken America's financial back.

Awwwwwww This really hurt

Same goes for all the grocery store workers, firefighters, carers, please don't forget about these people, they save lives every day.

😥❤

Someone shoud do his job to get enough PPE for the doctors & nurses.

Even aliens will be scared......but protection is also necessary

AngelRo41354633 God bless🙏🏻

Please stay safe.

I would never risk my life for the life of another if I had children. I’ll leave that to the movie industry. If this doctor dies from COVID19 her daughter will struggle throughout life. That’s not fair. God Bless the infected and heal them at your speed.

Man that’s sad

We have to do better by the people doing their jobs trying to take care of us. Hold these politicians to their faults. Some of y'all won't be around in two weeks to gloat or argue online.

but you look really cool on instagram.. mission accomplished..

i wish all the best & safety for all health practitioners 💔

God'll keep you save..

They won't lose you to Covid
