“THANK YOU ALL IN EMERGENCY FOR SAVING MY WIFE’S LIFE I LOVE YOU ALL”

The viral photo was shared on Facebook by a Registered Nurse at Morristown Medical Center named Allison Swendsen on Wednesday. In the picture, the man puts his hand on his chest and he is clearly in tears.

Allison wrote in the caption that she heard the unidentified man knock on the window and wanted to show gratitude though he also knew he couldn’t come in.

“I asked through the window if I could snap a picture and he nodded, he had tears pouring down his face,” Allison said in the post.

She asked the man about his wife and he replied, “great, she is going home today, you are all amazing.”

“I don’t know him, I don’t know his wife, but throughout the last 13 years as a nurse, I realized, this is why we do it- times are tough but we make a difference,” she continued.

In an effort to minimize the damage brought by the virus, safety precautions are in place. Hospitals restrict entries and exits of just anyone in their premises. Two hospitals in New York City even banned family members from accompanying their pregnant loved ones while giving birth.

According to some information from Johns Hopkins University, there are already more than 83,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection in the U.S as of Thursday night, even higher than that in China and Italy.
