A nurse took to Facebook to express and showcase how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected her in her day-to-day life. She asks when the suffering will pass as she looks at a photo of herself and highlights the masks’ markings on her face and signs of exhaustion. She pinpoints her eyes, tearful and wanting to rest after hours of hard work.

She reveals she does not know when the suffering will end – for those inflicted directly with the virus, their loved ones and all the workers addressing the pandemic. She longs for a time when the virus is vanquished, but until then, she states, we must all keep fighting. Our hearts go out to all those frontline workers putting their lives on the line and on hold to help all those who are suffering in these trying times.
