Fransico, 35

"I am grateful to be working, but I will admit, I feel afraid. I already have family members that are infected, and so working makes me worried. What if I bring it home? It's something I think I constantly think about. I know the work I do is essential, but I can't deny that I wish everything would just shut down so it could go away. This virus has made me tense because we just don't know who or what has it. As I said, I am grateful to be working, and so I thank God because things could be different. For all those who aren't essential workers, just stay home for everyone's sake."
