Many demographic groups are starting to get a whiff of their coronavirus vaccination. Governor Whitmer announced that state health officials have approved scheduling Michiganders age 50 and up. But there are so many people who’ve spent the past year waiting - and not sitting at home to wait. We’re talking about the front line workers in Michigan’s food processing facilities, groceries and big-box stores. They’ve had no choice but to show up for work, interacting in situations that are sometimes physically distanced, and sometimes not. Today, what their year has been like.  GUESTS:  Laura Boss and Abby Yeary both work at a grocery chain in Washtenaw County.   Stateside theme music is by 14KT. Additional music by Blue Dot Sessions.
