@migizii I am afraid for many people it's more than a choice between "health and wealth" - more a matter of survival. It is alarming in this seemingly wealthy nation that so many are literally one or two paychecks removed from hunger and/or homelessness. So I get that people want and need to get back to work ASAP. The government and employers need to figure out how to make that happen.
I really hope we come out of this with an understanding of who the MOST VALUABLE workers are in our country - truckers, teachers, meat packers, farm workers, retail workers, medical assistants - and the collective will to make sure they earn a living wage and medical coverage.
