ATLANTA - As the clear day turned into dusk in Midtown Atlanta on Wednesday, the normally busy streets were mostly still, save for the sounds of the occasional footsteps hitting the sidewalk. “The city too busy to hate” seems to have turned into the “city that will just have to wait” as residents remain under a shelter-in-place order amid the threat of furthering the coronavirus pandemic.
An ever-shrinking list of essential workers are supposed to be venturing out on the once-bustling city streets and at the very top are health care workers, many of whom are now on the frontline in the fight against COVID-19.
And while staffing schedules vary between each hospital, there’s a single minute each night that is now dedicated just to them.
