While Air Force (Thunderbirds) and Navy (Blue Angels) flyovers may be impressive, and I’m sure the pilots send their best intentions to honor the brave medical workers (from doctors to nurses to those who clean and disinfect and prepare food, and everyone in, around and between), it would mean far more to them to spend the ginormous costs of those flyers on N95 surgical masks, ventilators, adequate testing materials (tests as well as swabs, reagents and other associated supplies) and other PPE.
Oh, and a significant increase in pay (or, at the very minimum, temporary hazard pay) and student loan forgiveness would also be nice.
