She had tweeted last month that she and her husband made the difficult decision for him to isolate and move into their garage apartment as he continues to treat patients.

In a CNN article, Patzer expressed how difficult it was to see people ignoring social distancing recommendations knowing her husband and his colleagues were risking their lives to treat sick patients.

She, however, urged people to take the pandemic seriously and to “please thank a health care worker for what they are doing and sacrificing.”

The Former President’s wife, Michelle Obama, is also one of those who have used their social media platform to encourage people to take the pandemic seriously.
