Same here, while I'm not a health care worker per say, I am very involved most days with all types of patients, including Covid positive patients. I haven't missed one day either, although I admit there are days I wished I had stayed home, but that goes for nearly everyone.
I'm a single father who struggles mightily to stay afloat, so I know all about real world issues, again, just like everyone else in the world, but sports, and in particular UK basketball and football are not only entertainment, (well, most years anyway, lol), but they are a source of great pride to a state that just doesn't have any other teams to root for. Most of us grew up watching, and loving, our Kentucky Wildcats, so while how they perform has no direct impact on our daily lives, in another way it DOES impact those of us who bleed blue and have a strong desire to see our traditionally # 1 program OF ALL TIME, STAY THAT WAY. When it doesn't, it upsets us, it hurts us, and that's just the way it is.
