Karl, thank you for your thoughtful and insightful response.

I had a dear friend die from Covid-19. The disease has been notably more lethal for Native Americans/Canadian First Nations persons versus the general population--and I belong to a First Nation. I'm most assuredly not part of the "It's just the flu" or "It's just a hoax" camps. This is dangerous stuff.

I work in the hospitality field and trying to get guests to wear masks properly, maintain social distancing, and use hand sanitizer appropriately has been a monumental challenge. Despite trying to be a good host and attempting to address situations with tact, diplomacy, and good cheer, I get called every four-letter word and racial slur in the book, and some situations end up going so bad that people end up getting arrested.

This ongoing crisis has brought out the absolute worst in some people.

I am on my absolute last nerve, and have had at least a dozen incidents in the last two months that came perilously close to ending in "Take this job and shove it."

What I said above was an attempt to blow off some steam and, in retrospect, looks a bit flippant considering what's at risk and the gravity of the situation. And I apologize for that.
