Philosophy During a Pandemic
Now is not the time for moral weakness. Times of crisis are not times to let things casually slide and priorizing our petty pleasures over our civic duty. Do not go out unless you need to, practice social distancing, wash your hands after everything. Carelessness will kill people, and pandemics must be slowed at the beginning, not at the end. Follow the WHO guildlines on how to protect against coronavirus.
Oh, and if you lost your income from the pandemic, you should not be paying rent. Think about organizing with your follow tenants to go on a rent strike. Workers can't be the only ones to have their savings wiped out from a public health crisis. When all is said and done we have to reflect on what caused us to be so unprepared to organize society to act on everyone's behalf (hint: it might have something to do with having all of our institutions based solely around enriching the property owning elite, but hey, who knows).
