@filmcritic anyone who didn’t have to get out of the house to face an unknown virus and see their collleagues get sick, die, and witness the damage the virus has done (directly/undirectly) should support a fair pay re inflation for those who did. The public was very much protected from seeing how awful it really was, and now they seem to have completely forgotten

My neighbour, a nurse, caught covid and was in hospital herself, she did recover but she got back to work and caught it again. She was in tears when she left.

@FayeSouthall @scullingmonkey @filmcritic A working hero

@FayeSouthall @filmcritic @sbaker9014 yes and no. Hero always implies they/we don’t need the usual terms and conditions that come with work: fair pay, health and safety at work, protection / financial support for occupational exposure that results in long term illness. The uk is the only European country not to declare long/covid an occupational disease
