I have had to deal with the emotional burden of patients losing family members, and wondering every day if I would get the virus and bring it home to VA. He has lived in a world where<strong> his company shut down immediately and started working from home</strong>. He transitioned teams several months in and have never met his coworkers face to face.<strong> His days are lonely but at least our dog keeps him company.</strong>
