Don't try and scold like you're my mother.
Hibble came across really quite superior in their post and I was addressing that. No one person is key, the job is, that isn't wrong. Even boris Johnson isn't key, the job he does is, and if he left/died/disappeared tomorrow someone else would do it.
If hibble were treating anyone I knew I would behave professionally and expect them to do the same and if they didn't would follow due procedure to report it, and if I didn't I would expect to be asked to leave similarly. Doctors are doing their job, yes a fantastic job that saves lives but still a job and no one is superior to anyone else for what job they do.
I never once mentioned childcare, or criticised key workers, as you'll se in my post I emphasised that it is just some taking the piss.
But I stand by my point that you can't expect sympathy for an aspect of a job you were well aware of when you chose to follow that career. Doctors and nurses work 12 work shifts, people in tax have the January and April rush, many hospitality jobs include working Christmas, bin men have to be up super early whilst chefs work late and pilots have to travel and spend time away from their families. Every job has positive and negative aspects and when you take one you choose to accept both.

They didn't sign up to face a pandemic with worse PPE than Doctors in developing countries though did they? Or to have to fight to get a test for said disease whilst worrying they are infected and are cross infecting vulnerable people in their care.
You're being selectively dim I hope rather than the alternative.
