Keep Fishing
from In It Together · host WGBH
When you think of essential workers, you probably don't think of fishermen. But throughout this pandemic, they've been out on the ocean doing their work, despite the danger they face of contracting coronavirus. Arun Rath speaks with Heidi Sulman of Fishing Partnership Support Services about how the industry has been hit particularly hard by COVID-19. And case numbers are low here in Massachusetts, but doctors, nurses and other staff are still caring for coronavirus patients at local hospitals. Even the strongest among them are feeling the strain. Arun hears from Dr. Beth Lown, medical director at the Boston-based Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare, about the emotional toll this crisis is taking.
