My family member is also getting a little hazard pay. Retail is not a high paying industry and it is so essential. The extra pay is well deserved. One of the grocery stores in our area is giving employees two weeks paid leave when they test positive for the virus--I am so glad. It is important to support all of the people on the front lines. It will be good when everyone in retail can get tested--this will help with stopping the virus from spreading.
Also, I will be glad when there is a test that shows that we have had it and are now recovered--this would be a great way to get our economy moving again.
