Thank you.
I will make it very brief.
I am hesitant to comment too far beyond the realm of my expertise.
I will say that, working clinically as a paramedic at the beginning of the pandemic, we were lauded as heroes. People were very kind. They donated things to us. They banged pots in the evening and thanked us for our service. At some point, that changed.
It's hard for me to say, within the limits of my expertise, exactly what caused it, but I am very much aware of a “felt” sense of what you're describing.
