The very people who are most helplessly exposed to COVID-19 care for our elderly, staff our supply chains, stock our groceries and produce our take-out meals. They are also the least likely to have paid sick-time and hospitalization, nor, for that matter, retirement or job security.

What’s next? Strategic quarantine…

Oh yeah, and anti-Semitic hate crimes under POTUS are also through the roof.
