Food is essential. Water and electricity are essential. Going to the movies or eating out is nice but certainly not essential. There's nothing clueless about wanting to keep the essentials running while limiting the non-essentials.

Those doing that work should have all of the support and benefits that come from choosing that sacrifice, putting themselves in harm's way. That we are not treating those roles that way is barbaric.
