Nursing assistant Becky Long Warrior shuttled between the two hospital rooms in Crow Agency, Mont., both housing family members stricken with Covid-19. In one room, pictured in the first photo, her grandmother stared up at her through a large oxygen mask as Long Warrior gently squeezed her shoulder and told her to rest.⠀

Next door, Long Warrior checked in on her uncle, a cattle rancher in his 70s whose lungs were being aided by a machine blowing high-flow oxygen. “He’s used to working, not being in a room alone,” she said.⠀

The Crow reservation, home to about 7,200 people in southern Montana, has been struck by one of the nation’s worst outbreaks in recent weeks. That has created a situation at this 24-bed hospital, operated by the U.S. Indian Health Service, unlike almost any other medical facility in the country: The people helping combat the disease know many of the sick.⠀
⠀
“To have loved ones [and] friends be affected by it, and to care for them, sometimes it drains you in every way imaginable,” Long Warrior said.⠀
⠀
After largely being spared in the spring and summer, many rural communities across the U.S. are now being swamped by Covid. The small, resource-strapped hospitals that serve them are struggling to keep up.⠀
