«Singapore is a cautionary tale: proactive government interventions worked against coronavirus, but the conditions for migrant workers in the country led to new clusters of outbreaks.The lesson: you can’t beat this virus without taking care of your most vulnerable workers.For everyone to be safe, we must protect everyone. Not just rich. Or citizens. Or white people. Or voters. Or the able bodied. Or the young. Or people who can wfh.
We ALL pay for these workplace decisions.
For everyone to be safe, we must protect everyone.
That’s the story to fight this virus. You might not like it.»

Well, here’s a heck of an opening. Makes me realize the strategy of making a population more vulnerable to a toxin than everybody else and then applying the toxin universally (or waiting for it to just happen by itself) might also be a viable strategy.
«America’s “anti-vaxxer movement” would pose a threat to national security in the event of a “pandemic with a novel organism”, an FBI-connected non-profit research group warned last year, just months before the global coronavirus pandemic began.
In a research paper put out by the little-known in-house journal of InfraGard – a national security group affiliated with the FBI – experts warned the US anti-vaccine movement would also be connected with “social media misinformation and propaganda campaigns” orchestrated by the Russian government.
Since the virus hit America, anti-vaccination activists and some sympathetic legislators around the country have led or participated in protests against stay-at-home orders designed to slow the spread of the deadly virus. More than 50,000 people have died in the US.»
