My Dad would have caught it from a PSW who might have been asymptomatic or called in sick 1 or 2 days later. If people did everything they could to extinguish the virus transmission this would stop happening over and over.

PSWs have families, use public transit, shop, celebrate holidays just like the rest of us.

On another forum a guy in Canada says they should leave everything status quo and spend all the money protecting seniors. My question to him was, how exactly are you going to put a magic bubble around vulnerable people when they run out of PSWs?

As someone with an elderly grandfather in just about this exact situation, it really makes me wonder if the people who are so against acknowledging/being careful due to COVID are the ones who lack relationships with at-risk people.
