I am fortunate to be able to work from home doing telemedicine, but I feel a little guilty for not being on the front lines. 4 of my friends have lost an elderly parent due to Covid. None were able to say goodbye. I am isolating, and have become slightly agoraphobic. I won't go to a grocery store, won't order takeout. I get groceries delivered. I feel safe in my home. I haven't seen my kids or my mother in 5 weeks. My fiance lost his job and we are most likely going to cancel our wedding in Sept. That being said, I am so lucky. My family and I are healthy. I know I am privileged to afford grocery delivery and to still have a job. I feel like I'm living in a bad science fiction novel. My heart breaks for those who have lost so much, and for those who put themselves at risk every day caring for Covid patients.
