Low income workers were not the only essentials. High income workers were also essential. Middle income workers were also essential. And many of us were impacted by covid in one way or another.

One aspect of the whole reaction to the bug can be easily explained by the incentives placed in front of higher earning knowledge workers sitting at home in front of their computers while continuing to draw a nice paycheck and wondering why everyone else isn't doing the same...

Contracted Covid while working at a coffee shop during big second wave of infections. Bed-ridden for a week and symptoms for two with lingering heart issues for a few weeks after. Have retained IgG and IgM for over 10 months to testers’ dismay, but somehow that’s not good enough?

Pretty sure my family had prior immunity too (especially thinking of exceptionally bad viruses they suffered in the past) All worked in essential jobs throughout and daughter supported a new mum, all have kids at school, all tested regularly. Not a whiff of the blasted virus.

Low income workers had higher infection rates in Sweden too, without lockdowns. It wasn’t the lockdown that discriminated, but the spread of the virus.

If only the eminent double professor, who knows how to save the world, provided a hint to a solution in the same tweet… @harvardmed @BrighamWomens

I have yet to see anyone mention that government workers continued to receive paychecks, even when their agencies were anchored by covid. Social Security offices still remain closed and passport issues are months behind. The regime always puts itself first.

Again, be a scientist, define what you mean by "excellent" including duration , but you can't so why say it?
