I agree. I work in gas transportation. We have to keep operating, or people will have no gas to heat their homes. Naturally, there WILL be people who will be required to continue to go to work.
All office workers are required to work from home. I am planning to cancel some field work where I had planned to be on site in order to prevent our front line technicians who are essential to operations from catching anything if I somehow become a carrier of the virus.
I see delivery personnel (whether UPS,
Amazon, grocery delivery, etc) in the same way - without them, a lot of people will be cut off. Some people rely on those services to have things delivered. Not everyone is able to get food themselves nor do they have people who can help them - this is their only way to ride out this virus at home. We need to protect those delivery people, just like their employers need to do everything in their power to protect their staff.
Is this a good time to go on a shopping spree and have LV delivered? Probably not. But those delivery personnel will continue to be appreciated by many all over as they deliver groceries, ready made meals, essential items, medication, etc which are needed in this time of crisis.
