Valley healthcare workers bracing for another wave of COVID-19 hospitalizations

ICU nurse Kyle Schrag says prior to COVID-19, about two of his patients would die every week. But when COVID cases peaked in July, he started to lose multiple per day. “There was just so much death that we were seeing the last few months that I needed to find a way to cope,” says Schrag. Schrag puts his grief in his backyard. Each time one of his patients dies he buys a plant that is near death and puts it in this garden. There are now 40 plants.
