The hot zone

  1. My mother works at the hospital and one night she came home crying and told me that people who are dying cannot have their family members with them. They have to say goodbye through an ipad. So please stay home unless you absolutely have to go out.

  2. The ending of this piece caused me to consider something I hadn't thought of before, and Sydney mentioned it above me. If you or a loved one gets hospitalized with coronavirus, there's no way for you to be visited by family. If you die, you die alone. That idea alone should be reason enough to keep people indoors.

    As Nicole Del Valle says in the piece, “The hospitals are still very overwhelmed,” she said. “It’s really hard as an emergency physician to see people suffer without their families at the bedside. It’s been a very hard time for everyone here."
