I definitely think they should have had a plan for those workers. I have a cousin who works with the elderly and she was going out in large crowds and lots of places when she wasn’t at work. I also heard one of the nursing homes that was hit really hard told their staff not to wear masks because it scared the residents. The same place also reached out to a county commissioner saying they needed help and were ignored.
