Publix, Walmart, Target, Amazon and the fast food restaurants were doing a booming business, as were enterprising delivery services. My own kids were getting OT at their jobs. They also got thanked by their companies and wound up getting a nice Covid pay bonus for working during the pandemic.
We sometimes forget how those worker bees kept more vulnerable people safe for most of the year and that was well before a vaccine ever came along. They wore masks, kept their workplaces sanitized, followed Covid protocol and provided much needed services to their communities.
I think it's good to recognize what these workers did for all of us.
