Thanks to all the non-healthcare workers still out there working in this mess

Healthcare workers get a lot of credit for putting their lives on the line to treat patients with covid-19 but I feel like non-healthcare groups are consistently overlooked.
I personally would rather be in a health care setting with some access to the limited PPE than have to work in a supermarket or gas station or pharmacy or bus or uber/lyft or etc and encounter hundreds or thousands of different people every day, while not having the appropriate protection for yourself.
Kudos to you all and thanks!

I feel for the police, military, fire department, truck drivers, mail carriers, the UPS and fedex drivers, couriers. I'm still going to work ( manufacturing) thankfully though its small company and I work by myself in my area. But yeah, any of the delivery sevices are touching so many nasty door handles and encountering tons of people. The mail carrier for my work has been wearing gloves and a mask ( not the good one though) and she doesn't come into the building any more.

I feel bad for the grocery store people. They are basically exposed to hundreds of people a day with no protection and dont make shit for it.
