When a whole family falls ill as the coronavirus spreads, it means not relying on older relatives to help, plus a constant, new feeling of dread.
Colds, coughs, stomach viruses, contagious skin infections that flourish like red sores around tiny noses and mouths. With two children under 6, we’ve weathered it all.
And finally, as officials began to cancel big gatherings like music festivals and sports games, my 6-year-old daughter, who had been battling an itchy throat, came down with a nasty cough and light fevers. I kept myself informed and did what I could to prepare us. I wiped down surfaces with a mix of water and bleach. I made stockpile runs to Target, grocery stores and drugstores. I searched in vain for disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer. I had a good laugh, amid all the stress, when I found a guy on Craigslist eager to unload two masks, two hand sanitizers and a huge 50 oz. bottle of antibacterial hand soap.
When I pulled into the parking structure of Kaiser’s Pasadena location, I was relieved to find myself escorted by a security guard into a scene similar to those up north, in hard-hit places like Washington and Northern California.Doctors and nurses had transformed the structure’s first floor into a drive-through triage set-up — with orange traffic cones, bright lights, folding tables and medical supplies.
