SOMERS POINT, N.J. (AP) — Hospitals nationwide have been soliciting greeting cards for COVID-19 patients who are largely going to be alone this holiday season to avoid spreading the virus. Shore Medical Center in Somers Point, New Jersey, has collected nearly 1,000 cards so far. Some were from a woman who asked that they be given to patients on the hospital floor where her husband died. A Rhode Island field hospital received more than 5,000 cards. In Arizona, two young brothers started a drive to collect and send cards to hospitalized patients. And a hospital in Dothan, Alabama, is collecting cards for health care workers.
