As our country’s hospitals fill with new patients everyday testing positive for CoronaVirus, those who work in the medical field are called to action. Because these people are still required to go to work, they are exposed to the virus and are much more likely to contract it. Despite this, they show up to help patients reach a healthy status once again. The country has acknowledged this and has shown their thanks in many ways.
