Health care workers are an obvious and well-deserved choice. They are facing not only dangers by exposing themselves to patients with a horrible virus, but they also are facing dis- comfort on other fronts too. Many are being asked to do jobs they normally don’t do, and some are undoubtedly losing hours and wages as health care facilities across the country are seeing much less business. Yes, they are prepared for a surge, but right now business is slow as people are rightly looking for any reason to stay away from the doctor’s office or hospital. First responders, such as police and fire, also deserve thanks. They are still interacting with a lot of people, when it would be much safer for them to be tucked in their homes. It wouldn’t be safer for us, though. Health care and first responders often are top-of-mind professions to thank. But what about trash truck workers?
