Filipino nurse friends survive their own battles against coronavirus

Praying for my many family & friends in healthcare!

My cousin, a nurse in New Jersey, already posted last week or earlier that she lost one of her colleagues to COVID-19.  🙏🏽

Hoping and praying that a working vaccine gets developed and approved ASAP.
