If only she had known.
An associate in our circle we’ll name Paula once volunteered at two different hospitals in the Sacramento, California area for over two years at each facility.
While working there, never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that in the future, workers at the hospitals would be the first line of defense to essentially prevent a nation from collapsing.
When she was there, at both places, they were stable environments that took care of the ailing.
Now some of those very same people could be on the verge of or have already died due to being infected by the Coronavirus.
No matter how much you look into the future, it is impossible to see it with precision.
Speaking about the current plight of hospital workers, the global news leader CNN reports, “A Detroit hospital has been so overwhelmed by the influx of Covid-19 patients that at least 2 people have died in its emergency room hallways before help can arrive, health care workers there told CNN.
Conditions are so drastic at Sinai-Grace that on Sunday night, all of the emergency room’s night shift nursing staff –seven in total — staged a sit-in, where they refused to work and demanded that more nurses be sent in to help.”
It sounds like they are very overwhelmed.
Kaiser Hospitals of Northern California add, “As the U.S. battles to limit the spread of the highly contagious new coronavirus, the number of health care workers ordered to self-quarantine because of potential exposure to an infected patient is rising at an exponential pace. In Vacaville, California, alone, one case — the first documented instance of community transmission in the U.S. — left more than 200 hospital workers under quarantine and unable to work for weeks.”
We now have ordinary people being asked to perform extraordinary duties that are placing their very lives at risk.
This truly is a war against an unseen enemy.
The United States Center For Disease Control advises, “Healthcare facilities and clinicians should prioritize urgent and emergency visits and procedures now. These actions can preserve staff personal protective equipment (PPE) and patient care supplies; ensure staff and patient safety; and expand available hospital capacity:
- Delay all elective ambulatory provider visits
- Reschedule elective and non-urgent admissions
- Delay inpatient and outpatient elective surgical and procedural cases
- Postpone routine dental and eye care visit.”
Much needed help is on the way. Much needed thanks is in order for Front Line Service Providers.
It comes in the form of a very familiar company.

A global pandemic needs a global hero to join in the fight.
Here is Kellogg’s way of saying thank you to health industry workers and others on the front lines.
Kellogg Company Thanks Partners Around the Globe Who Help Bring Food to the World’s Tables During This Difficult Time
Kellogg is donating $7.5 million in food and funds to global COVID-19 hunger relief efforts.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., April 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Kellogg Company, responding to the unprecedented pandemic, is releasing a special advertisement to thank the front-line heroes who play an important role in supporting the global food chain.
“During this time of tremendous uncertainty and deep concern, anything that brings us a little comfort or gives us a sense of normalcy is particularly welcome,” explained Steve Cahillane, Chairman and CEO, Kellogg Company. “Right now, sitting down to breakfast is more important than ever. That is why we are thanking everyone around the world who is working so hard to bring food to the table, from the farmers, to the people who make the food, the truckers and the grocery stockers and cashiers who ensure shoppers have safe access to what they need to feed their families, and food bank workers. All of these men and women are everyday heroes who deserve our sincere gratitude and appreciation.”
Kellogg remains committed to ensuring the health and safety of its employees having shifted thousands to remote work, while implementing carefully considered steps to protect the dedicated front-line workers who make the food, as well as those who get it to the store shelves.

We will continue to evaluate the need and respond as best we can going forward.”
“All of us at Kellogg would just like to say we appreciate and applaud the hard work and selfless dedication of the countless people who are helping get food to those in need across so many local communities,” added Cahillane.
