Yeah, right. A month and a half off w/ the virus and NO compensation of ANY kind. EMS worker. Did not qualify i was told. Other medical workers have told me the same. Nada. Others were furloughed and boasted of buying new stuff and vacation at the beach. Eff that. It will all get sorted out at the end of days.
Well your industry got screwed, because your the highest risk many insurance companies can't weather a claim for all respiratory illnesses for 1st responders, some states enacted EO's to get you guys covered, many did not.
The only folks i have seen well cared for are fire fighters, they tell me they are covered for COVID. EMS is the red headed step child of public safety. But i did not get into this to make a living, it is a calling. Living very simply helps. ; )
I had a brother with the same calling.
I appreciate you and thank you for listening to your calling.
