Should we keep doctors out of their places of work too? Or is their life worth risking? What about the police? What about people who keep electricity/water/communication services running? What about food and goods manufacturers? What about people who deliver that food and those goods? Want to talk rational? People are going to need things. How can you just expect _the_ most significant supply chain actor in the world to _stop_ functioning when supply is going to become vastly important?
It's so, so trendy to hate Amazon these days.
And I do keep myself and society safe. I am staying home, before the authorities even asked.
But if I was part of an essential supply chain, I'd be going to work. Because supply chains are important, especially when there's a virus going round, putting pressure on supply. I've even volunteered to deliver groceries at unsociable hours for an online grocery store, just to make sure that people get things like food in these difficult times.
Apparently telling people to stay home is the new social bandwagon of (dis)approval.
