Today was my first look inside a hospital since the coronavirus has started. Employees are taking the necessary precautions. I was told there were hardly any people coming into the ER, until today, the day I showed up (I sprained my ankle playing basketball). Lucky me.

However, it’s been humbling to see our front lines workers in action. They’re working hard, and on top of that they are kind and sympathetic to their patients. The coronavirus is still here. And these people are still working to save us.

After being up in the mountains for the weekend, away from all the hustle and bustle, being back and visiting the hospital has reinforced the continued importance of taking the necessary actions to keep everyone safe. If social distancing, despite its inconvenience, saves only one other life in your community, it’s worth it.
