Mask, face shield, gown taped at the wrists, it is a tough way to work but I think its necessary. I am required to disinfect the fire truck twice daily as well as the entire station. As of Monday we have to wear a mask in the station 24 hours a day.

The test is not pleasant if the wrong person is doing it, some are gentle but others seem like they pull the swab out with a pick up truck!
Be safe it’s hard in the line of fire. My son is Boston ems and medic and has lost coworkers to this virus, I hope vaccination begins soon for you guys and gals on the front line.
