Yes we have to remember the frontline workers the are our heroes. No matter what capacity the work in. I always appreciate them and I am sure we all appreciated and think of them more with this Pandemic going on.

Local station ran a segment today about the cross-border truckers finding it near impossible to have places to eat, to shop or to use bathroom/shower facilities. They are limited to their truck bunks for sleep and on Twitter, some truckers scarcely see family during a 5-day period. That's an oversight-not having trucker facilities open for truckers.

Not a freebie, but still nice to know:
medical staff and first responders have reduced hotel rates for medical staff and first responders, as low as $60 per night
