"A few"? As a society, we're living in a crisis of loneliness.[0] Lack of social contact is mentally and physically devastating for the human psyche, and this is evident in the current suicide rate[1][2]. One could argue that this trade-off is worth it[3], because more people will die from the virus than suicide, but this is predicated on our Coronavirus modelling being accurate. This is still in dispute[4][5], and arguable either way. For many, being locked in is not "safe & comfortable"[6][7][8][9]. The so called people who are "bitching" are at great risk of suicide. From a certain PoV, essential workers are just in a different form of danger. At the end of the day, we're making a conscious trade-off of some lives for other lives here - everybody has the right to be upset. So no, I think you should "stop bitching" about the plight of others (there are complainers on both sides). Just because you have it good, the majority of people _do not_. Have a little empathy.
