We're already at a point in terms of wealth and technology that Amazon could deliver all of our durable goods and nonperishables, Instacart could deliver all of our groceries, and schooling and most jobs can be completed online.
Every family of average or greater means can already afford to buy everything from these two companies.
Every family of below-average means could be supported by a government stipend to enable them to receive goods this way.
We have the ability to build a society where most people leave their homes only a few times per year.
Surely this is just a small price to pay in the fight against a virus that could leave vulnerable people on a ventilator or worse, right?
