I'm going to add that retail workers should have adequate PPE as well. Not only is it an unreasonable personal risk otherwise, but it's a major means of spread.

Yes, retail workers are the unsung heroes of this crisis. They should all have as much protection as a physician. A cashier deals with 200+ customers per shift. With the current infection rate, they have a very real chance of being infected every single day they show up to work. They're being rewarded with, if they're lucky, an extra $16 per shift. If you have extra masks, leave one as a tip to your cashier if he/she is unmasked. You might save their life.
