Economy v/s people’s lives

It’s very disturbing to see our fellow Brother’s and Sister’s force to go back to work due to the economic social state, every day in the mine industry workers test positive and now it’s during winter it’s too cold I can imagine underground there’s lot of water and how do they expect workers not to be infected by the Covid 19, even if they can put safety measures in place still workers they are going to be infected. They know very well that this pandemic it’s stronger when it’s cold and shame our poor vulnerable people they are afraid to lose their jobs, at the end of the day they should provide for their families underground workers some of them they have respiratory illness such as Asthma, Sinuses, caused by the working conditions, but what else they can do life must go on and adjust but more children will lose their parents.
