Go on, over the top, lead from the front. Show us how itโ€™s done. Noblesse oblige We might follow, if you personal... ramblinggit.com

We can no longer fail to notice those we have previously overlooked. The homeless โ€“ for whom the instruction to โ€œstay homeโ€ means nothing โ€“ are thrown into sharp relief on our deserted streets. We suddenly see that those who are still working in public, risking their own health โ€“ the cashiers, couriers and nurses โ€“ are those paid a pittance and often with no contractual commitments from their employers. Never has it been so apparent that our society is built on exploitation

from: Three weeks of lockdown in Italy has given us vital perspective โ€“ and crumbs of comfort - The Guardian

@johnjohnston Yes, you really start to notice who is still working, still putting themselves at risk and who are shouldering that risk for the rest of us.
