The former top-ranked high school football recruit in America walks into Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston most days around 5 a.m. He wears an N-95 mask, spends more than 60 percent of his day working with COVID-19 patients and works stretches where he executes 24-hour shifts every other day.
Myron Rolle hasn’t seen his wife, Latoya, since February. They live apart while she’s finishing her pediatric dental residency in Alabama. The fear of exposing her to COVID-19 has halted visits in the short term.
Rolle stresses that he’s just a foot soldier amid a much bigger army at Mass General fighting the pandemic.
