With essential stores being open, my roommates were back on the job. Now they weren’t worried about saving up for rent or food. They were worried about getting the virus. K and T work at a pizza place which was deemed an essential workplace, while D worked at a Metro grocery store. Every time they had a shift, K and D were riddled with anxiety for different reasons.

 

For D, he considered on quitting his job in order to keep me healthy, as well as ending the constant verbal abuse from customers.

 

For K, she was panicked stricken over hearing the amount of cases and deaths that were happening in Ontario. She was so worried about it that it led to us agreeing that we should sanitize the door knob with her improvised watered down rubbing alcohol spray as our way to combat the mutated virus.
