Health care services, Meals on Wheels, checking on the elderly who are isolating. You don't have to have direct contact so it's not particularly dangerous from an infectious point of view.
Right now this really sucks for me. My family owns a small 100 bed nursing home with 2 confirmed cases of the virus. Staff is bailing from fear alone or because they have family at home that are compromised. Many of our lower earnings employees are working double shifts because they say the if you work in the Health Care industry than you have to face the Consequently. That's coming from people who make $16 an hour.
Well I'm about to feed a resident who has been confirmed and as a result of dementia or alzheimers and actually spits in your face. It's not her fault.
What's most anxiety producing is that we hardly get any of the most basic necessities.
Almost no masks of any kind and we can't even get the plastic disposable covers for thermometers. A couple of face shields would go a long way to protect the staff who are here knowing the danger. Staff temps get taken at the beginning an ends of their shifts which are getting longer and longer.
Why cant we get a big box of decent face masks, thermometer covers, face shields or protective clothing.
If your stuck at home try calling meals on wheels or something to help the general family well being checks on the higher risk population.
Please let's not make this overly political,
Be smart and remember the danger but help if you can.
Thanks.

I wish you and the people you are caring for the best. It is a scary time.

One of the best things I can do is to not to be stupid and get sick, spreading it to my wife who would then carry it into the hospital she works at which would be catastrophic for many people.

In the meantime I choose to use my time trying to stomp out disinformation and propaganda on a particular forum that is under attack by foreign/Trump trolls on a pretty sustained clip. And take care of things around my house until things get back to normal.

I totally believe that your family owns a 100 bed nursing home and you are relegated to feeding memory-care patients with coronavirus

This.

The best thing any of us can do is keep our asses at home and let this thing burn itself out.

Buck I did not and never under any circumstances support Trump. Everything he says or does runs contrary to my beliefs so please stop putting the trump tag on me. Our beliefs may not mirror each others but that doesn't mean that they are that different.
I did say I didnt think the virus was going to be as devastating as some thought but I also said I try to have an open mind and reserved the right to change my opinion.
My family own a nursing home and we have confirmed cases which my wife and I have to face everyday and for the better part of many nights. So many people are advised to self isolate. I sure wish I could.

This is sad and happening all over America. This type of thing is where the $500 billion should have went not to bail out corporations.

I didn't call it a hoax. I suggested it was being overdramitized. I reserve the right to change my position as information develops..
Differing opinions on some aspects bn of politics does not make me a Trump supporter. I am a gun owner but I am not a single issue voter. I would not vote for a 2A candidate if they didnt support gay rights, prochoice, immigration, and the rest of my beliefs. tagging as a Trumper is wrong and untrue but it's a tag that is now permanent. I'll never be let off the hook which is ok because being a centrist opens up Pandora box.
Oh well. Cest la vie

I'm sure we'll read about you abandoning those under your care when things get bad, just like they did in Spain.
