I'm 67 years old. Been a doc (obstetrician) for over 40 years. Lived thru AIDs doing deliveries (very bloody) before a cure. Took it in stride. This is different. I have never seen my fellow health care workers scared. Every single doc I know who works with COVID either doesn't go home after work (hotels mostly) or strips in the garage and immediately takes a shower when they get home. Every one. They are not just scared, they are terrified, mostly for their family. It is a bad disease that we are just learning about. It apparently can have long term consequences we are just beginning to learn about. The whole world except the US and Brazil are taking it seriously. We will see if the entire scientific establishment is correct, or if the trumpists got it right. over time. If the NFL follows guidelines and does contact tracing and 14 day isolation for contacts the season seems impossible. Has anyone seen what the plan is when someone tests positive? I am glad they are trying. Don't think they will be able to pull it off. Hope I'm wrong.
