Labeling some people/jobs "essential" was all part of their propaganda campaign. Why would a Walmart worker be "essential" while someone who works at a mom and pop store lose their job. It was over the top and ridiculous. Those essential nurses and doctors making tictoc videos because they were bored and most of the hospitals were empty.

Many, many doctors treating Covid patients bravely spoke out and were censored. Those whistleblowers are the real healthcare heroes.
