Nurses in the trenches of this pandemic are suffering burnout and PTSD like never before: A survey of 10,000 frontline nurses around the country in June found that one-third have experienced severe mental health issues due to the ongoing crisis.
Now they’re among the vulnerable groups being targeted by a fresh round of grants from First Lady Tammy Murphy’s charity, the Pandemic Relief Fund, to help address the mental health costs of COVID-19.

Meanwhile, it has substantially increased the wealth of billionaires.”
