I see this as the silver lining of our global ordeal. Now, everyone can see who the “essential” people REALLY are and who are the ones who have been stoking the fires of hate and fear. Dedicated workers from nurses, to servers, to supermarket cashiers, to teachers, and delivery people — they all are keeping us going. Hopefully, American priorities will change with this hard-won knowledge. Throwing the Republicans and neo-liberals out of office in November will speed the process.
