It is puzzling, but I believe rooted in the liberal (or leftist more accurately) idea that government can solve all problems. Covid lock downs hurt poor? Well we can just send them checks.

When they stopped refugee rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea (because of potential C-risk) and my green-liberal bubble kept quite, it blew my mind. How hypocritical can we become? Refugees dying as a fact versus a potential risk of transmission. And we chose the latter.

"The first thing you shut down if your body is at risk is the last thing that came to us during evolution as mammals. That's the immune system. So the immune system is shut down first if you starve...it's not the rich people that are dying...it's the poor." Dr. Beda Stadler
