Grocery Worker's Experience
For grocery worker Emma, things have changed a lot within the past few weeks. The stores are taking a lot more precautions. Everyone cleaning things constantly, there is glass to protect the cashiers at the registers, and they are allowed to wear masks. They have also raised the hourly wage during the crisis and committed to having paid sick days. Things have been pre-packaged to help limit the risks to everyone.

Healthcare Worker's Experience
Liz, a healthcare worker in Pittsburgh, PA, described her experience under COVID-19 as being very stressful. There is very little hand sanitizer or masks, and the facility where she works does not have a good track record for allowing enough sick time, and is even known for denying sick leave in the first place.
