    Yes, as the number of fatalities to the so called front line hero staff were so high in this real pandemic.

    The lack of actual heath care due to cancelation of treatments like cancer made the hospital look like it was almost closed, along with overtime and a bonus paid by the government- they made out like bandits.

    Unlike the real frontlines workers, those who worked without protection as they were not allowed it, in the retail and grocery sector. If it was a real pandemic, they would have paid the highest price for their service.

    Wake up snowflakes!
