RICHMOND — Holly Zimmerman hasn’t worked since July, when she fell ill from caring for COVID-19 patients. “Nurses take care of whoever walks in the door, risking our lives every day,” said Zimmerman, who has been a nurse for 34 years. After catching the virus, she’s had multiple seizures, experienced memory loss, and suffered severe respiratory infection. She’s stayed at home in Bassett, depleting her savings and 401(k). She’s sold her car, and her mortgage and student loans are in forbearance. She hasn’t been able to receive workers’ compensation. “This is what’s hurting our nurses today, the length of time to recover,” she said.
