About this comic

At the start of the pandemic, there was a dearth of information on how COVID-19 was spread and how to prevent exposing your loved ones to the virus. This story is about the very real fears a Pediatric Emergency Medicine physician had and the efforts she took to protect her family when coming home from a long shift on the frontlines in the early days of the pandemic.
