> the grocery store clerks had more integrity and sense of duty

The grocery store clerks shouldn't have been risking themselves without hazard pay either.

Making someone too desperate to quit isn't duty, and calling people essential without treating them better is insulting.

But that's not for you to decide. We live all together, and someone getting sick from an infectious disease concerns us all.

People who don’t want to get exposed can just continue to stay at home. Sure, they might not like it, but my children don’t like the house arrest either. The difference is that I’m not forcing anything on you, it is you who are forcing things on me.

Yes you are forcing things on people, without noticing it.

You are forcing vulnerable people to stay at home.

No, I’m not, any more than I am, through my driving, forcing people scared of being hit by a car to stay home.
