People like delivery drivers, council works and teaches could be risking their lives to keep the country moving, help you to survive and feel safe.
We know that the NHS is under extreme pressure, but no one really mentions all the other key works working day and night who are not getting any praise. The country needs to respect key workers and what they do.
Does anyone now what happens at their work or how it is affecting their families? My Dad is a delivery driver and he is working down in England (the north east) were there are 2,948 people who have died. I have not seen him for 2 months and hardly talk to him as because he works nights he is always asleep in the day and at work at night. It is putting a strain on the family. He is being more distance and he told us he is just fed up. He does not have a set timetable and he can go days with no work and then have days of consecutive work. He is staying at our other house by himself; he goes to work at night and sees no one, then goes home to no one.
My sister, who is a teacher of 6-7-year olds, is also still working. In her school there were only 2 pupils in the whole school. She must go in once every three weeks with one other teacher to look after the two children. She states that if we were going to go back to school then they wouldn’t even be able to fit half of the class in and still maintain social distancing, not to mention that a lot of her children are already behind in school so they cannot afford to miss out even more.
