WCK’s Anna checking in from Ukraine 🇺🇦 Our team got word that there were 1,500 people in line waiting to cross into Poland, so we came over with a truck full of hot soup! As the situation continues to shift, we’ll keep adapting to get meals to families in need. #ChefsForUkraine

That has made it easier to quit, showing how emotional attachments to jobs may be fraying.

Lydia Rodriguez, a mother of four, was unvaccinated and died of COVID-19.

Before she went on a ventilator, she had a final request.

"Please make sure my children get vaccinated," she said, according to family. https://t.co/3d1NLMxWrf
