” I don’t see a lot of people pointing out that these exact things happen individually — that is, to individual people and individual families — ALL THE TIME.

Unexpected crushing sickness. Terrible choices between working and staying home where it is safe, where you can take care of loved ones who have no other options. The slow slide toward death with either slender or no odds of survival. Sudden unexpected unemployment due to unfeeling and impersonal functions in spreadsheets. Sudden inability to go anywhere, to do the basic shopping, to leave the house for any common, basic entertainment. Feeling invisible to anyone who cares.”
