Am sadly just putting this out there -
There have been more deaths due to covid 19 here in New Jersey than the combined death toll of the sunken Titanic and all the NJ victims of Sept 11th.
Thought about this as the anniversary of the sinking of Titanic just passed.
Keep safe.
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.
