I love how you use humor. This was interesting, so true, and also funny. Your playful approach to the serious roles of first and second responders makes it fun to read. I particularly liked how you highlighted the second responders. It's nice to see these unsung heroes get their due. This was terrific!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I am glad you praise the second hand responders here as they do a great job of picking up the pieces, a bit like vultures that clean the landscape and cockroaches, both we would rather not know they exist until we need them. I enjoyed your unusual post Iza, you always bring something different for us to read, thank you for that, love Dolly x x x

Yup, there are several who have helped us get through this terrible crisis. I cannot help but think of the many who bring groceries to homes so they don't have to go out and shop.

I agree, and actualy this continues nowdays, and I start taking advantage just now, because I have no car and the litter for the cats it's so heavy:)

I think you are doing pretty good with your writing. Third language? My goodness! Super good, Iza!
You use humour to uplift people who may be having it hard. Good for you!

Thank you so much for your stellar review.
Comment from estory
I think its a great idea; the second responders. Today we all need to have a group to pile on the accolades, but in reality, we are all essential, and that is what you get at in your essay. It's the unsung heros of the world that stand in the background, overlooked, unpraised, who are the real people who keep the world going. We live in a day and age of celebrity and popularity, and that has come out in this epidemic. Much of it is social media constructed. In 1918 we had an epidemic that was 1,000 times as deadly, but they didn't close anything up. The Red Sox won the world series that year. estory

I guess we didn't have so much social media and so many people with different opinions.
Comment from Spitfire
Effective use of bold letters. PPE is the only one I hadn't heard of, but I know what it is.
We can be an ungrateful world at times. And also selfish like the people who won't wear masks and gloves.
Thanks for giving credit to second responders. You described their trials too. Pets too who keep us grounded.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Great!
Typos:
"boots that the first responders needs when they work in a contaminated section. (need)
"masks disposable and non-disposable that can be wear also by the second responders." (worn)
"the ones that are watching the Shadow Hunters saga, know what I am talking about it." (talking about.)
"They don't complain. They are doing whatever is in their power to keep their families fed and save." (safe)
"These are the brave moms and dads that are working full time now." (full-time)
"
The funeral personnel is part of the complaining group: they cry that they run out of garbage bags, ups sorry the special "bio-durable and safe bags where the Coronei" are sealed and ...burned." (personnel are) (oops)

I love your abbreviations, the trouble is the writers onsite here assume we know all acronyms they expound, and I don't. But beautifully written Iza, one day we might never hear from Corona virus, but I love your writing, it keeps me up to date, and they are interesting, well done, blessings, Roy

Great story as you know we will be looking for more from you soon. Sounds like a taken on hogans hero hehe. First responders are taking a risk each day they respond to a call.

Thanks for appreciating the "second responders" and it gives a good message to appreciate everyone - not just the ones who face risks but the ones we should care about everyday.
