I appreciate having my face rubbed in the fact that while I risk my life and carry on as normal a large proportion of my countries population is getting a sabbatical funded by the government. Thank you.
Apocalypse porn with a token paragraph about some people having a hard time. Please if you are having a great time right now you owe it to yourself and all of those who aren't to be productive. Whether that's helping the vulnerable, teaching your kids, teaching yourself new skills and so on. Trust me you will wish you had done this in 6 months when you are asked in a multitude of scenarios what you did during the covid outbreak.
> In the 1970s, science-fiction writer Brian Aldiss coined the term “cozy catastrophe” to describe a fictional plot in which a bourgeois protagonist finds pleasure while the world goes to shit.
After reading the article, this isn't a fictional plot. It's a sadly accurate prediction. The article's writer couldn't have proved Aliss's point more. It's tone def, divorced from reality and shows no genuine concern for how this will seriously and negatively affect the majority of people. This is the literal definition of irony which like everything else in this article seems lost with the writer.
