Residents crowded 91原创 Memorial Hospital鈥檚 sidewalks at 7 p.m. on Sunday night 鈥� still adhering to social distancing rules of course 鈥� to pay tribute to the nurses, first responders, and health care workers that are on the front lines of the COVID-19 battle.
More than 75 people clanged pots and pans together, drumming on anything they could find to make some noise while blowing whistles, cheering loudly, and even shouting 鈥渢hank you鈥檚鈥� to staff at the hospital.
More than 30 police cruisers, ambulances, fire trucks, tow trucks, and vehicles just wanting to show support came in a bright parade, honking and blaring their horns outside the hospital entrance.
