‘If We Don’t Work, We Don’t Get Paid.’ How the Coronavirus Is Exposing Inequality Among America’s Workers
There are many things that worry Fina Kao about working in a busy donut shop in an age of fear about a spreading virus. The elderly customer who shuffles across the brown linoleum floor of the shop, orders a glazed donut, and then coughs. The parents sitting at a table sharing a breakfast sandwich as their small child touches the tables and the floor and the drinks fridge with her dirty fingers.

Only Half Of Americans Would Get A Coronavirus Vaccine, Poll Shows
(AP) – Only about half of Americans say they would get a COVID-19 vaccine if the scientists working furiously to create one succeed, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
That’s surprisingly low considering the effort going into the global race for a vaccine against the coronavirus that has sparked a pandemic since first emerging from China late last year. But more people might eventually roll up their sleeves: The poll, released Wednesday, found 31% simply weren’t sure if they’d get vaccinated. Another 1 in 5 said they’d refuse.

Coronavirus Response: Walsh Says D.C. Sends ‘ Mixed Messages ’ By Prioritizing Economy Over Public Health
BOSTON (CBS) – Mayor Marty Walsh was critical of “mixed messages” coming from the federal government during the coronavirus pandemic. Walsh’s comments came a day after President Donald Trump suggested the country could be back up and running by Easter.
Walsh said public health needs to be the priority, rather than focusing solely on the impact coronavirus shutdowns are having on the economy.
