That's pretty grim, Bri. Thanks for the information about covid-19's impacts on some of the people around you.

I definitely know I'm lucky not to be on the front lines, either in the medical field, or in a food producing line of work.
I have no idea what it's like to work in a hospital and I doubt I would ever have been good at it (other than working Marshall Hospital's health library which I have done), but I did spend a summer working on a farm once years ago. It was brutal. But it did give me an appreciation for the hard work field workers do.
And after I did that, I got to thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea for any kid in high school without good reason not to do so (disability or whatever), to have them spend a summer doing that kind of work. For two reason- teenagers have tons of energy that could be put to good use and, two, it would give them an appreciation for what goes into putting food on the table.
