Affluenza Pandemic
Timothy Birdnow
The more fundamental disease involved in this pandemic is affluenza. Too many people have lived well for too long and do not know or understand that any other type of existence is possible. They think we can shut the economy down for "as long as it takes" with no repercussions. They don't grasp just how terrible it can get. "But if it saves just one life" is the kind of reasoning employed by children. A lot of things take lives - not just a virus. And everyone is going to get catch it anyway at some point as nobody lives in a bubble (well, except those with immune disorders who actually live in bubbles).
