                              CORONAVIRUS

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, Americans from coast to coast hunkered 
down to stop the spread of the virus. Office workers, including my 
staff in Washington, adapted to work from home. But not all Americans 
can do their jobs from home. Many must work away from home to provide 
essential services for our communities. I am talking about workers who 
harvest, process, and deliver our food; the crews who provide 
sanitation services and keep our communications, transportation, and 
energy grids running around the clock; America's postal workers and 
truckdrivers who deliver mail and transport goods across the country; 
the grocery store clerks and factory workers who make toilet paper, 
diapers, and consumer products we can't live without.
  On behalf of Iowans and the rest of America, I thank the frontline 
workers who are on the job, working away from home, in the line of 
duty. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.
  I yield the floor.
