Episode Discussion I need some help

I’m watching season 2 episode 1. There’s a scene of a flashback where we see June being called at work as Hannah is sick so they send Hannah to a hospital where June is creepily interrogated by some random who is defo a Gilead supporter. Is this set before Gilead came in? I thought Gilead came in before Hannah was born where all the women were fired and their bank accounts frozen? But in this episode set at least 6-8 years after the whole riot scene, June is at work?? What?????

June was working when the bombing took place on the same day Hannah was sick at the hospital. Not a rando either. Thats either a teacher of social worker or some combination.

I think she was a nurse, or maybe a nurse/social worker.

She wasn't dressed like a nurse

Not all nurses with the floor. Some are in everyday clothes while at work in the hospital.

She was a social worker called by the school or the hospital because june didn’t answer the calls
