<p>This is total speculation/projection:</p>
<p>Maybe people in service roles got a wake up call to their
vulnerability. Maybe the relief programs gave *some* of them to
find alternative lifestyles or employment so they don't have to go
back to that position. And likely the personal service categories
might be even more acutely involved since their work would
nominally involve more risk of being exposed to COVID and/or
exposing others. Health care workers would seem to top that
list, adding the kind of grief they apparently get from the
anti-crowd who want to paint them as snowflakes or even
crisis-actors.... Thankless shite all the way around.<br>
