The best way to keep COVID-19 from turning into a shitshow with patients stacking up in hospital hallways? Slow its spread down. We want a slow burn.

The best way to do that?

Full paid sick leave for ALL employees. Especially food & customer service. People in service jobs go to work sick because they can't afford to lose hours, or because they'll be fired.

Workplaces like this spread disease. CDC found they cause over 100 outbreaks of norovirus (violent GI illness) alone, every year.
