@ai6yr @mcnado Certain jobs need to be reclassified as "high risk, high exposure" Teachers, for example, are on strike in Mexico for higher pay, & rightfully so. Teaching has a high exposure risk profile for contagious disease & isn't yet compensated accordingly. Doubly so for health care workers. The pay should be commensurate with the level of hazard. People jobs are seeing recruiting problems. Child care. Nursing. Fast food. Is any job is worth a 5th case of covid? 1/
