My daughter has tested positive for COVID-19. She& #39;s a grocery store worker. I feared this moment was inevitable. I am terrified. I knew that employers didn& #39;t care about employees but I am getting deep insight how little people care about essential workers. #covidtoronto 1/3

She was spat and coughed on by angry customers who were upset they they couldn& #39;t bring in recycled bags, distraught that they had to wait an extra 15 minutes to be served. Their mild inconvenience is now her life-threatening illness. She has chronic arthritis. #covidtoronto 2/3

So, she& #39;s at high risk, but she desperately needed the work, needed the money to survive. I am beside myself. To all the people who think this is "just the flu" and people are overreacting, I want to say: just wait until it happens to your kid, wait until it happens to *you* 3/3
