In a gut-wrenching interview during Tuesday’s Cuomo Prime Time, ICU nurse Carley Rice shared with CNN host Chris Cuomo (who tested positive for the coronavirus) how, despite seeing a career’s worth of deaths in just a few days, her faith gave her the strength to carry on and that “this is what God wants me to do.”
Leading into the segment, Cuomo pointed out how the virus wickedly robbed families of the closer of saying goodbye to their loved ones since they couldn’t be by their side. Which was why Rice was on the show, because she used technology like FaceTime to connect patients with their families over the internet and was there for them in their final moments.
“Thank you for being one of the angels among us. And I wish the best to you and all your brothers and sisters doing God's work through your community,” he told her.
