What would you do?

15. My wife is a front line health care worker.

She treats people like that every day and has been doing it near thirty years.

She's always worked in rough underserved communities. I think she's seen every sort of tattoo -- from swastikas and tears on faces to "Eat Me" on nether regions.

Her work this past month is pretty much all covid all the time. Ordinary health care services have been postponed indefinitely.

She's seeing patients in her clinic who would in normal times be hospitalized, but the hospitals are full and only taking patients who are very, very, ill. That's true for non-covid related health problems as well.

So far she's avoided covid but some of her colleagues have not been so fortunate.

The worst part of it is not visiting our families for fear of infecting them, most especially our parents.
