Sacrifice is exactly what people aren't doing and why we're living through this disaster.
The sacrifice we should be looking at is not the risk of catching COVID-19. It's that of following a set of rules that drastically minimize the spread of the disease. Simple rules, by the way.
If everyone had the kind of thinking some (most?) Asian societies have (collective first, individual second), we'd be looking at a much different world right now. I'm thinking mainly of Taiwan.
But no, we have to deal with people throwing tantrums because they can't wear a piece of cloth over their faces.
- dpc_pw 6y agoYeah, I'm sure you are making such a sacrifice, working from home, having to eat doordash delivered food instead of a proper restuarant one. So virtuous. Here, have this medal.
- cblum 6y agoYou presume to know me. I actually pick up food from local restaurants around me. I (and many other people) continued to pay my gym membership when they had to close due to the lockdown, to support them during that time. And so on. I don't even have the option not to wfh (and even if I had, why would I go to the office and risk unnecessary exposure to the virus?), since my office closed for our safety even before government lockdowns became a thing.
