I wonder how they keep up this energy; it is obviously not the salary. They receive less than minimum wage and are the lowest-paid employees in the government system.

Kong Sarita proudly tells me that our locality has worked hard to get the quarantine provisions so that working-class quarantined homes don't feel the pinch and don't feel isolated.
