situation has impacted you and your family. >> yeah, jessica, i'm really pleased that i was able to come on today. my entire family tested covid positive last week, fortunately we all had mild symptoms, but still as a mom who has been working on the front lines and even was pregnant at the beginning of the pandemic and now has a 19 month old and 3-year-old at home i've been terrified that i was going to bring home covid and i did finally, that's what happened. i had to stay home over the last week with my two small children and i am taking time off from work, but actually going back tonight. i think that this puts a lot of parents like myself in a difficult position because my kids are better and fortunately did not need to be hospitalized or seen by a medical pre vierd but that's probably because i'm a doctor and i understood how to care for them. a lot of people are not in that position. i am returning to work but that means that my kids are not 100% well and it would be nice if i had the time and support to do that, but we are just so devastated by the omicron surge in the hospital settings and
