To the editor:
The death of nurse Celia Marcos, who rushed to resuscitate a COVID-19 patient despite not having ready access to an N95 mask, should not have happened.
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, we had the opportunity for a nationally managed process to provide protective equipment to all healthcare workers. The president had the power to make this happen, but he let an important opportunity pass him by.
No amount of denial or distraction by the president will change the facts. It was clear these masks were needed. It’s the same situation with testing—remember “anybody that wants a test can get a test”? He speaks in sound bites and does not seek out facts prior to blurting out what he believes serves his personal interests.
Our president cares about the economy, the stock market and getting reelected. Does anyone think he cares about working people?

Note from KBJ: President Trump cares about all people, Sid, but especially working people. Have you not been paying attention? Then again, perhaps you're watching CNN.
