“Support the frontline workers”… is BULLSH!T.
They’re talking about medical/hospital employees. They aren’t talking about the other real people who keep groceries and other “essential” businesses running.
The hospital and clinic workers are some of the BEST protected. They have the best masks, and best protocol. You can’t even get in for a regular appointment, without your temperature taken. Then, it’s one by one. They also have excellent healthcare, compared to the rest of us.
Now, consider the grocery workers. They’re exposed to thousands of people, daily. Nobody takes their temp. Everybody touching everything, thousands of people, running through the stores and lines.
Grocery workers earn FAR less than healthcare workers, and have FAR less benefits. Many are on 0bamacare, if they have health insurance at all. Yet, they are more “at risk” from Covid exposure than the protected “healthcare” group.
Busy grocery workers have a job, and it’s hard – and there are no protections. They keep on keeping on, so that all of you may live your lives as normal…and eat.
Many grocery workers have to do HARD labor wearing masks for 8hrs. a day. They do it, exposed to many times more customers than healthcare workers could comprehend, with much less protection.
It’s not a competition. But we should put things into perspective.
Something is wrong with the way people are looking at things. I think it’s political.
