Sister-in-law
She is a nurse at Queen's Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. (Here she is at home.) My brother bought her some new gear for work, probably from an industrial supply company. She looks happy with her new protections. (Photo by my brother, of course.)

My brother is immuno-suppressed from having a bone marrow transplant last year. Needless to say, they are both quite frightened these days. Before leaving the hospital and again when she comes home, she meticulously decontaminates herself, but it's still a pretty high risk situation.

I certainly don't envy them, I can't imagine the stress! Thank you, Keith.

We have the same shortages here, quite dire in many cases. The great leader of our federal government is not trying much of anything, so it is up to state governors. Some are working like champions (Cuomo of New York, Newsom of California), others are more lackadaisical or even negligent (mostly in the south).

The medical workers make me think of Chernobyl and the brave men who did their jobs knowing the danger.

Ce que j'exprime est presque paradoxal, dans ces moments difficiles, mais je ressent une sorte de réconfort de voir que nous ressentons et vivons tous la même chose. C'est si rare dans ce monde. Il faut qu'un tel drame arrive pour que celà soit.. En quelques jours, tant de choses ont changé. Il n'y a plus d'avion dans le ciel, plus d'appels téléphoniques intempestifs pour vendre je ne sais quoi .La planète respire. ( alors que le covid étouffe les gens) On a l'impression qu'avec ce covid elle a fabriqué un anti virus pour se soigner (se soigner du virus que nous autres les humains sommes parfois pour la nature). Espérons qu'aprés l'orage,nous saurons nous souvenir de celà.
