Covid 19 is not a great leveller. Covid 19 does not hit the poor and rich alike. There will of course be exceptions but the rich can largely escape Covid 19. Ordinary people have to face Covid 19 daily. Ordinary working people. People who work as your carers, your postal workers, your delivery people, your store clerks, your construction workers, your electricians, your frontline medical staff. They did not sign up to go to war. They are not trained to fight a war. They are not paid to be brave.
You do not survive the Trump plague by being strong or brave or by “fortitude and strength of character” as Downing Street is telling the world. You survive it by a combination of luck and good medical care. Being young and fit is not a guarantee of survival.
