But just today at work I had 4 customers in tears. One because she found out both of her parents tested presumptive positive and now they are in lockdown (they're in their 90s). Two business owners who came in to say it would probably be the last cash deposit for awhile because they are having to temporarily close because they arent getting enough business and it makes more economic sense to close for a bit. A server who brings in her tips after each shift who has had her hours reduced to the point she is worried about keeping her apartment.

I have a favorite customer who I had not seen in a couple of weeks, they are hospitalized and fighting for their life. I cried with their adult daughter who came in for them.

And we are weeks away from the true ramp up and hospitals are hitting the current capacity.

What is going on in my community is not something I would wish on anyone. And we ain't seen nothing yet and are more prepared than many other areas of the country are going to be.
