I have taken to thanking people who are working at the moment - particularly supermarket staff and delivery drivers (because they're the ones I interact with most). They are literally keeping the rest of us going.
I don't think they're heroes, and I don't say so. But they are doing essential work in a dangerous environment. As the writer says "Unlike medical personnel and emergency responders, we didn’t sign up for potentially life-threatening work. We can’t check the temperature of people entering our store or maintain a safe distance from one another." And I appreciate that. The fact that I buy food at a store or buy a webcam online, is down to these workers. So I thank them.
I think this writer should learn to be gracious in accepting other people's gratitude.
That said, I agree that their employment conditions need to be improved.
