I'm not one to condemn purely symbolic gestures because they are important in their own way but yeah it's best not to create a narrative that this is about "heroes" doing their duty - a narrative that things are fundamentally okay - rather than people being unfairly victimizedhttps://twitter.com/TimCWrites/status/1253400630057750529 …

I'm trying to think of a single profession that gets the "hero" platitude that isn't really just a victim more than anything.

Kurt Vonnegut did a whole bit on this. Also Pratchett in Night Watch. “They did the job they didn't have to do, and they died doing it, and you can't give them anything.”
