Then add to these figures the class aspect of how ”no close down” works: Middle and upper classes work from home or in individual offices, travel by car and can afford to have their food delivered. They can self-isolate in spacious homes. Working class people have to go work, using public transport during the rush hours, and go out to shop for food, and live in increasingly cramped apartments. So, if we take into account that the increased mortality rate overall is perhaps twice as high (since Covid struck only during the spring) and then the class aspect, what would the increased mortality rate for the working class be? I won’t try to guess, but it’s it must be quite bad.
