“That’s not their profession. I’m not sacrificing them.” One Boston-area firefighter -- who asked not to be named -- has had to move into a dorm to protect his family. He is one of many on the front lines of COVID-19 trying to keep their loved ones safe:
A small number of hospitals and nursing homes are offering free housing to workers who can afford to be away from home. But most do not, and many, like Salmon, don’t have anyone to take care of their children even if they wanted to move out.
After a colleague got tested for the virus, he started changing his clothes in the basement before seeing his family. When the colleague’s test came back positive, he decided to change clothes at the station, disinfecting with hand sanitizer before getting in his car and changing again when he got home, leaving his clothes untouched in the basement for three days before washing them in time for his next shift every fourth day.
“I knew that this job involved sacrifice. It’s part of the profession,” he says. But he’s the one who signed up for that risk, not his kids. “That’s not their profession. I’m not sacrificing them.”
