CNN's Miguel Marquez Breaks Down While Reporting on Overwhelmed Texas Hospital
CNN's Miguel Marquez has been reporting on the front lines of America's fight against the coronavirus since it began several long months ago. A fight, sad to say, it seems like we're both losing and not adapting to combat in the present or future. After sharing his latest report from a Texas hospital struggling to provide care for the influx of patients, Marquez was overcome with emotion during a live hit on New Day.

John Berman gave voice to the fact that, though a reporter's job is far less stressful than those of the medical professionals right now, being near all that suffering and tension takes a real human toll. Worse, there has to be a profound sense of dread knowing that these stories will continue to be relevant and there will be ample opportunity to showcase the next overwhelmed city.
