I havent had anyone to really confide in during this quarantine about my fears. My best friend died last year. Losing my wife as well as my 9-year-old son, Ryan, who is on chemo treatment is my greatest fear. My wifes a nurse in a hospital. So three days a week, I watch my wife go off into hazardous duty. I thought as a vet that was behind me. Twenty-one years together, 20 years of marriage, I cant picture life without her or having to watch her succumb to COVID-19, but shes dedicated to her fellow nurses and patients, and she goes in even though I know shes afraid.

Michael Taylor, 49, from Pensacola, Florida
