We clapped the NHS heroes working tirelessly to keep us healthy, we smiled behind our masks at the frontline workers stocking our supermarkets, we left ‘Thank you. Stay safe’ notes for our refuse collectors. While many professions had no choice but to rise to the challenges of a global plague, other equally viable careers were left fighting to survive as the coronavirus locked down the country not once but twice.
