Whether it be the medical staff treating those physically affected, the grocery store worker stocking shelves amidst the chaos, or even the sanitation specialists, postal service workers and countless other professions making sure the rest of the world spins, this pandemic has shown us which societal roles are truly “essential”. If you know someone on the frontlines, check in on them. See if they themselves need anything, and thank them for their huge service to our society. I have no idea how our country or even our world will look after this has passed, but I take comfort in knowing that it will, and that we have the chance to be stronger because of it.
