Sanitation, transit workers, convenience store employees, lower echelon health workers, social workers, Etc., Etc. are the ones...that let us hide in our houses.

And yes, I'm one of those "hiding," but I am at least grateful/appreciative for those who are making us lucky ones...be able to hide in the first place.
So you’re saying that a higher % of people of color that are low income workers are more likely to get the virus because they are “essential.” What about the EMS, physicians, firefighters, nurses, police, etc.? They are as “essential” as the low income workers. Where do you obtain your facts for this? Sounds ridiculous.
BTW what is a “lower echelon healthcare worker?”
Sounds awful biased thinking.
