        And they know it's disproportionately black and brown people who are being affected so it's all good for these ghouls.

        Apart from everything else wrong with this, it will demoralize the workforce and drive productivity through the floor. The winners of the pandemic will be countries whose governments retain the trust of their populations through the crisis.

        1/One thing I haven't seen people point out is the significance of the fact that NY has had zero protests whatsoever thus far (even as CA/MA have). I'm not sure it's a red/blue thing, but rather that cognitive dissonance is harder when you know someone who has died from this.

        2/while NY's density and mass transit make it likely most vulnerable to COVID, it's most certainly going to spread everywhere soon and significantly. While it's likely to hit urban centers and low income workers worst, that will be outweighed as it affects more people directly.
