    I have struggled for many years with medical professionals that have lost touch with the other side. Drs that I know wouldnt think thier first way of helping would be mopping floors.
    thank you. thank you for your service, thank you for risking your safety every day to make sure most of us survive this pandemic, and thank you for your first thought of mopping floors . your story was intresting because it gave me an inside view. seeing your humble nature was an uplifting and encouraging thing bringing me faith that maybe the core attitude of the younger medical professions is shifting.

      In Germany we also had 2 people killed in the last 2 days by the police. In both cases the attackers charged at police officers with a knife and got shot. Those 2 cases are already quite crazy because only a few to 20 people get shot and killed by the police each year here.
      But the statistics in America are just insane to me: Up to 1000 people get shot each year which is 50-100 times more and the US only has 4 times more people than Germany.

We water ours by lowering the plant into a bucket of water (up to the top of the pot) and wating for the air bubbles to stop, then lift it out of the water and let it drain. This way the bark is wet and the roots are hydrated but not sitting in water which would rot them.

    I volunteered during the peak of the epidemic as a nurse aid (I'm a med student) at a Covid-19 ICU, and subsequently at the ER.
    During those first 4 weeks at the newly formed ICU for Covid-19+ adults in a pediatric hospital, I remember feeling all those thoughts and emotions : worries about PPE, feeling like you can't do anything do anything but offer supportive and experimental treatments to your patients, losing some people, seeing other's get out, learning more about the disease day to day and somehow being even more confused about treatment protocols, talking to families (there were two patients whose infidelities had emerged, one whose brother had died and the family refused to tell him...).
    The ER, after a month of social distancing, was somehow relaxing compared to that.
