I mentioned this a few days ago.... Our daughter, Arielle, a final year nursing student in Boston. She has no need to step into the dragon's den and subject herself to this for the pay they offer, but that is not how she sees it. But she stepped up to help any way she can (CNA role, as she is not a registered RN yet) at a Boston area hotel, which is now hosting COVID homeless patients. This picture was from this morning, her first shift.... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/126878.jpeg) She just called us after her 12 hour shift, haggard, and with a tired voice, but in good spirits. She is a trooper. She is a bit shell shocked from the reality - a number of homeless were ferried off to trauma centers during her shift. She is an angel in our eyes. It was an emotional conversation tonight. Mama and I are worried about our baby.

My Sister-In-Law is a RN in New Bedford University Hospital in New York. She calls us and kind of says... its like going to war. She was a combat nurse in Fallujah so she has the right frame of reference. We support her any way that we can. Her work environment carries such high viral loads that she takes off all of her clothes before she enters her house and gives the neighbors a show. She is the person I want bedside if I am ever fighting to stay alive.

My son's girlfriend is in the same situation, not done with nursing school but drafted and put on the "front lines." God bless and keep them. They're making a lot of sacrifices, like isolating themselves and staying away from loved ones. I sure hope their employers remember that and treat them right when this is over.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

My wife and I appreciate the kind thoughts, friends. Thanks for the well wishes for our daughter. Tonight was already a tough night, but damn, more bad news. I just learned that our close friends in Nebraska lost a family acquaintance to COVID. https://www.gjsentinel.com/news/wes...a675aee-79c1-11ea-a92c-93532f15d88a.html Prayers please.
