I have two granddaughters who will be working through this crisis - going to work every day because they work for "essential" businesses.
Morgan works in the warehouse for a company that delivers breathing machines. Her job is essential. The company provides gloves, sanitizer, disinfectant for essential employees and have left inside doors open so that nobody has to touch doors. Anyone who is in the office is working from home. They enforce the 6' distance rule and take employee's temperatures when they enter. This is a responsible business delivering critical services.
Kaci works for a company that has decided that they are "essential" also, and so she will have to go to work every day or not get paid. If she is sick, she needs to keep going or get no pay. She goes into literally a different business nearly every day, accepting packages and delivering the packages all over the building - no gloves, no sanitizer, no disinfectant, no temperature check. If she is carrying or getting the virus, it will be spread to possibly hundreds of people in several different businesses.
Who is monitoring this? Who will enforce basic safety protocols on these companies? My granddaughter is not expendable!
