Today, I e-signed documents to work as a Health Corps volunteer. I will admit to having some feelings of trepidation. I am pretty sure, as a volunteer, I wouldn't be in direct contact with COVID-19 patients. On the other hand, I will probably be in direct contact with a lot of people and any of them may be contagious.
Still, it is necessary for those of us with some medical training to help take the pressure off of the front-line health care workers. If I can free up someone to work directly with patients, by taking over medical records input, or answering phones, or contact-tracing, or ... I have no idea what ... it is important to do that.
As with so much else during these Strange Days, wait and see.
Meanwhile, the president wants to "open up the country" to boost the economy and my Governor, and most other governors, are holding the line and insisting that any lifting of quarantine be fact-, and science-based. I look forward to reading the history books in 10 years.
