    Not sure if you'll read this. But thank you for all you (and those like you do) Annie. A tip with your orchid is that they don't like to be sitting in water. 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.
