Let’s be honest about something. If you are on twitter frequently enough to be reading this then you are privileged. You have money for a smart phone or internet. You have time on your hands even if you should be working. You have fairly well developed language skills. 1/

You are not the most affected by this pandemic. We are all at risk. But you are probably quarantining to one degree or another bc u can afford to. U don’t have to ride the subway bc u can stay home. U don’t have to drive strangers around in a car bc u can stay home. 2/

The people who are going to be dying in droves are not seen by society often. They are doormen, cleaning ladies, babysitters, and the people who probably were part of what can be called the village that helped to raise and get u where u are today. Think of those relationships. 3/

Think of their children. I don’t know the answer but I wanted to make sure people know that people are dying. People without a voice. People you don’t see on tv. People who don’t get talked about on tv. They are real people. That is the scope of this tragedy. That is all for now.

It. Breaks. My. Fucking. Heart.

A friend of mine from high school whom I have not spoke to in a while knows 5 people who have died from covid. 5 fucking people. He rides the subway to work everyday bc banks are essential. At least the banks just got p100s for employees.
