Caregivers at Michigan hospital celebrate holidays with patients.

LANSING, Mich. —On the critical care floor of Sparrow Hospital, a patient named William was about to get a birthday surprise.“Let’s do it,” another replied.On the other side, William, who did not want his last name or age used for privacy reasons, was celebrating his birthday Wednesday. He's been in critical care for 31 days with Covid-19 and was placed on a ventilator but recently became the first patient in 2 1/2 months to be taken off the device.and 8,761 deaths as of Wednesday.

But Wednesdaywas a day for celebration. As the nurses carried the cupcake and pushed past the door, into the negative pressure room, which prevents the air inside from circulating into other areas of the hospital. They began to sing: “Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear... Happy birthday to you."

Leslie Rush, the nursing supervisor at Sparrow Hospital, said the birthday celebration was a milestone.The patients “become part of our lives,” she continued, “so the fact that it's his birthday, and he’s here, we’re celebrating. We're his extended family because they can’t be here.” As much as they miss their own children and other loved ones, they say they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Yet the Supreme Court says “ let them gather in churches” . How about churches finding a way to serve their parishioners instead of subjecting them. I can honor the lord from anywhere,, churches are concerned about the $$$. Our SCOTUS is now political.

We Chinese all know COVID-19 was intentional accidentally leaked on Sept 18, 2019 when CCP did a drill to plant & detect the virus at Wuhan airport. The virus was made in a PLA lab - The other side of the pandemic the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know.

Because this is what NURSES DO!

You all are so loved by so many people. Hope you know that we send love and thanks for you in daily prayer. I know I'm not the only one....💞🙏🙏

They’re being paid right?

Coming from a State in Australia that is coming out of our 2nd wave,0 cases for 27 days I know the C19 experience. We had a curfew, masks, restrictions on hospitality and retail, these actions work,no miracles, low cost, major benefits.I get the issues, I implore you do similar.

I remember doing that. Just not in full infection control gear 2 take VS.

Probably better than an old folks home. Especially for the poor. Under paid staff taking care of the most important beings in our lives . So the business can profit. Is there a place in capitalism for compassion and humility?

Jane Fonda called the COVID-19 pandemic 'God's gift to the Left.' that tells the opportunism of the Democratic Party. Do they care about the 200K+ Americans, or do they consider these unfortunate victims to be props to use in the anti-Trump drama they subject us to day after day?

new 🇺🇸? 💔 💔 💔 another Venezuela 💥 deep state control media n BigTech 💥 China CCP-virus /global communism is coming to rule

Looks like they’re treating a car

Why does a day before Thanksgiving, cars line up at a food distribution site, and the stock market hits a new high remind me of Marie Antoinette 'let them eat cake' during The French Revolution?

Yes, that’s what caregivers do. It’s part of the job.

NBC News' Ellison Barber reports. ellisonbarber 💖 ellisonbarber Hate to say it but there’s going to be a lot more of Trump supporters catching and spreading Covid this Thanksgiving. I’m betting the death count to increase to 3k- to 5k a day. My thoughts and prayers go out to the front liners who are overwhelmed with Covidiots! ellisonbarber When you talk about mitigation for the holiday. Open windows, put window fans facing out to make it more of a negative pressure space. Also, only one person should serve the food, masked and gloved. Disposable utensils, dishes tossed out by the person who ate off of them.
