The four of us take on more responsibility at home, but we can’t ease their burden.
I hold a canister of disinfecting wipes in one hand and a squirming baby in the other as I run to answer the doorbell. As I wait warily, our father enters, dark circles under his eyes and N95 mask creases on his face. My little brother screams and cries to break free and grab our dad, but restraining him is my best chance of keeping us safe. My dad takes the wipes from me and heads back out to clean the interior of his car.
Vihas Patel, a critical-care surgeon, is working more than 100 hours a week in her hospital's intensive care unit. Since I am at home all day, I have had more time to help around the house, trying to minimize my parents’ burdens. Between troubleshooting WiFi connectivity for my sisters’ Web-based music and dance lessons, I check the mail, tidy the house and fold the laundry. Our babysitter finishes her day at 6:30 p.m., handing off my brother so I can ready him for bed, which allows my parents to focus on eating dinner.Sign up for our Coronavirus Updates newsletter to track the outbreak.
