We'd also need support with policies. For example, why should just a certain set of people (essential workers) carry all the burden of potentially acquiring disease (not just COVID-19) without also getting better benefits, including vacation, sick time, and health care coverage? To me, we can throw caution to the wind if we don't first fix this.
