C19 Shelter in Place

C19 Shelter in Place

It’s been almost two months now that IL has been under the “C19 shelter in place” and wow does it feel like it’s been a year. Luckily, M and I are pretty much homebodies anyway, but we do like a good date night out every once in a while. And a casual stroll through Target without masks and hand sanitizer would be nice, but we’re more than okay with staying home and doing our part in keeping ourselves, our loved ones and communities safe and healthy.

M and I are very grateful to still be working as we are both healthcare providers. We know how lucky we are and do not take it for granted. With the gratefulness of us still having our careers comes a lot of anxiety though. Since we both work in the healthcare field there is constant fear of one of us bringing the Coronavirus home to one another. With that being said, I am constantly doing laundry, wiping down our wallets, keys, work bags, phones and high traffic places in our home. But can only do so with half of a clorox wipe because, well, there are no Clorox wipes or bleach to be found at any of the stores near us, unfortunately. The silver lining to all of Clorox wipe and bleach shortage is I am starting to see more toilet paper in the stores though! Have to find that silver lining, am I right, folks?!

Attached is a list of all of the discounts healthcare providers are subject to. I, myself, have taken advantage of the Headspace app as they are offering free membership to a healthcare provider until December 2020. I also have colleagues who have used the North Face discount and the Rothy’s discount. Another co-worker received the free Krispy Kreme donuts and a different co-worker received a free meal from McDonalds. I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who are providing such great care for the healthcare providers and essential workers. We see you, we appreciate you and we, just like you, hope this is all over soon.
