It seems impossible to actually convince privileged ppl that this is a life or death situation bc it isn't for them (yet). They have figured out that they can protect themselves from the disease with money after a couple weeks of online shopping, wfh, bread-making, and hoarding.
Rich people already live isolated physically in enclave communities with private security where a Black man might be shot if he's not wearing a UPS uniform. They are indoors and isolated from the house to the SUV to the store where someone puts things in their trunk.
Of course the only struggle they see is it's harder to buy things and they can't go to the beach. Those are the only times they HAVE to interact with other people. If poor people are dying, stop being poor LOL. They're bored of the stay home game now.
Meanwhile politicians just don't want their most valuable supporters, big business, to complain to them and threaten to withhold funds. Never mind the black mark of a huge depression during your reign. Gotta reopen.
