I have friends and family members that work in medicine. Although we joke about them getting coronavirus, there always is a small fear in the pit of my stomach when they go to work. This tweet, like many other collages in times of tragedy, takes the photos of deceased medical workers and forms them into collage to pay homage to the sacrifice that many have made.
This item was added TAGS v6.1.9.1. I originally searched under the hashtag #wearadamnmask. Within that search, I have chosen to add the following tweet because it showcases the sacrifices that have been made in the medical field during the pandemic. It also attempts to show the gratitude that many people have for their medical professionals.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
