Testing of our living and dead in the age of COVID-19

From this Twitter thread.

Isolate. Test people to know whether they have/have had COVID-19. Keep investing in developing a vaccine. Come together; show solidarity far beyond national borders or between neighbours. That's what I think will lead to COVID-19 dying down in the end and to regaining decency.

Sweden—the country where I live—is highly individualistic; self-reliance and independence is drawn so far that we tend to die alone.

Back to COVID-19 and my blithering:

Protect those who don't easily have access to money, food, water, or other conditions that can help them.

Think about how COVID-19 affects people like the indigenous populations of Earth, e.g. people in the Brazilian Amazon and native Americans.

We cannot let money dictate who lives or dies.

We need democracy, not plutocracy.
