Working in a retirement home. Covid arrived and within a few weeks, a third of the elderly died. The doctor that said it was just the flu didn’t dare come near the place after the first few deceased. And still so many people didn’t wanted to take it seriously.
I was delivering packages on Sundays during Covid, and retirement homes were always the scariest to deliver to because I was very conscientious of the fact I could be infected and I did not want to pass it through those doors. Fortunately most places had notes to drop packages at the front doors, but each of those deliveries was another chance to worry for the elderly inside. Thanks for working through that time, but also I’m sorry you did.

nursing homes, retirement community, centers are rife with abuse/neglect already.
Thank you for being there with our elders during such a horrifying time. If not for brave people like you they would have been alone.
