A huge number of Americans cannot stay home and are not healthcare workers. People have bills to pay, and not every non-healthcare business is closed, unfortunately.

Right but that still doesn't seem like a good enough reason for Apple to start selling these publicly.
Why unfortunately? I'd say it's quite fortunate that grocery stores and gas stations are still operational.
It's unfortunate because these people are having to put their lives at risk, unexpectedly. They didn't ask to be on the frontlines. In addition, many of them haven't been able to get hazard pay or adequate sick pay.
