Welcome to Kind World, I'm Yasminammer.

And I'm Andrea Aswahay.

We're still coming to you from our makeshift home studios

as we do our part to stay safe and keep others safe during the coronavirus outbreak.

But unlike us, some people can't stay home.

First responders, people who work in grocery stores or food delivery, and of course, our

health care workers. We're seeing stories of overwhelmed hospitals in places like

New York and New Jersey, where doctors are working longer hours under very stressful conditions.

Just doing your job means making personal sacrifices.

You know it's a bit lonely.

I miss my kids, I miss my wife. I talk to them you know obviously every

night we face time before the kids go to bed, we talk through our days.

But I'm here alone, I have dinner alone,

and I miss my family.

That's Dr. Sahir-Kanji.

He's a physician in Boston, and when he's working with COVID-19 patients he decided

it's best to separate himself from his family even going as far as living in a

separate house

because he worries about possibly infecting his wife

and two young children.

You know, everybody's working really hard
