anyone that comes in contact with the general public and is exposed to the virus?
You never think about what they go through on a daily basis until something like this comes along and shows us how dangerous their jobs can be.

I have a niece in Boston who works in a doctors office and at CVS. She says the office is manageable....doing lots of telemed but the CVS is a Petrie dish. Her sister works at Whole Foods. I worry about them every day.0

We have several nurses in the family. All of them are still working and all of them are a bit nervous about what could happen. But in spite of that, they suit up and go to work every day. It's not right that they have to beg and borrow for protective masks, shields, and body coverings to protect them. Our Country as a whole has failed them terribly on this.0

My niece is a doctor and works in the ICU. I pray for her safety and that she doesn't come down with the virus.
I also have my Godson who works at the Cook County Jail. Conditions are overcrowded and so far 200 inmates and 100 workers test positive for the virus.0 -
My daughter works in an ER and her hubby is a paramedic with an ambulance company.0

I am a nurse, doing termed and only see patients by request for endof life issues. I am VERY careful.0

We have several in our family that are nurses, a few PA's, a nurse anesthetist, a paramedic (retired), and I'm not sure what else. But we are proud of them all while being concerned for their safety.0

None here. A former first responder, I was spared from the Corona virus by three cancers. Bwaaaahaaahaaa!
Ugh.0 -
We have several in our family too. We worry about them. I saw on the news this morning that one of the nurses that has been sounding alarms about not having enough protective gear died yesterday. That's just a shame and senseless. There's no way this should be happening.0

My brother is a doctor in a LTC.He works 12 hour shifts for 7 days then 7 days off. Seeing all the nursing homes on the news and lack of PPE makes me very scared for him. My sister runs a company that provides aides to go into homes. Luckily, she's working from home now but I feel for anyone having to go into anyone else's home.0

Police officer in family, thoughts and prayers to him and my niece as a first responder.0

We have a nurse in our family too. We have threatened to kidnap her and hold her at home until this is over. But we are proud of her for her dedication to helping others.0
