- 12 - Lock them down: killing the poor to stop a virus
It's very easy to sit comfortably from a place of privilege or even from a sincere concern for the "ordinary people" who survive on a day-per-day basis. Do we realize the gravity of the sacrifice, we're asking them to make? To literally die so we can survive and get on with our wonderful busy lives as soon as the pandemic passes?
