I feel really torn. I work in a healthcare profession and have skills that are needed at the moment and really feel like I want to do my little bit to help in this awful crisis. I've been asked if I could offer my skills for a day or so a week, or whatever I'd be able to offer. It would mean working on Covid wards, although not directly at the bedside.
I am married and have 2 toddlers. If it was just me, I'd offer my services in a flash. But I just don't know what I should do.....should I be prioritising my family and reducing the risk of me bringing any infection into the household? We have no underlying conditions, but it's still a risk, especially if I'm offering to place myself so close to diagnosed Covid patients.
But I feel like I need to do this, to do my little bit in the fight against this horrible virus. If everyone was to stay at home to reduce their risk then we'd have no doctors or nurses or supermarket workers etc out there doing their bit.
