Emergency room Dr. Joseph Habboushe pauses during an interview Friday, Feb. 26, 2021, in New York. At the peak of the pandemic last spring, Habboushe’s qualms were matched by a battlefield-like focus and the belief he could contribute to the fight. For him and many other health care workers, it was only after the first surge subsided that its mental impact really sank in. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)

Walburg Multi-Service Organization, arrives to pick up meals from a caterer in the Queens borough of New York. The coronavirus pandemic has kept loved ones apart, with younger family members fearful of bringing the disease to older relatives who may be so much more susceptible. That's driven Brown even more to assure those elderly are receiving the care they need through her meals-on-wheels program. (AP Photo/Robert Bumsted, File)
