My daughter is considered 'essential' because she runs an optical lab. I'm extremely near sighted myself, but enough is enough. She is the manager and they have furloughed her employees and she's the only one working. Hubby and I are trading off weeks with other grandparents taking care of the 7 month old so they don't have to worry about day care and illness. Then daughter and I both get sick. I isolated myself in a tiny little bedroom in their apartment for 2 nights before we came home. Turns out we both have bronchitis, and just passed that I ran fever until Sunday night, when hubby went back Sunday morning. I've missed a week of my husband and by grandbaby! But I would do it again so I don't get her sick. (We can switch off because we are all in education and doing distance learning) Daughter tested negative for Covid-19, I wasn't tested but fever broke and bronchitis meds helping.
Daughter does feel good about working most of the time, especially when medical workers come in the get glasses to replace the contacts they aren't allowed to wear currently.
