My mom, a nursing home administrator, just broke down crying. She went from 0 to 45 cases in two weeks, the COVID unit's overflowing. She's had to inform families and take their anger & pain. She's had to be a nurse, a CNA and a housekeeper because all but 9 of her staff have it.

Today she found out an employee died in a crash on the way to work. Couple hours later one of her favorite residents died of COVID, the 2nd one this past week. No hugs to console her, I just watch her cry from afar.

Please take this virus seriously. This will be a dark winter.
