Personally I don't feel that we are all equal.
People who have cars can go on a trip while those who have less money have to sit at home whole summer.
People who have money eat healthy food and vitamins to improve the immune system, people who have less money often have no choise.
Of course I learned something from all this situation with lockdown. But this is more about my own life!

I agree with OP. Our family doesn't own a car so we're stuck here at home... for months. Doing groceries are harder because you need to carry all those weight while commuting, and staying away from people to avoid contact. Also, the paranoia is greater since I'm living with a bunch of high risk people (seniors and a PWD).

Well if we are talking about the virus then we are all equal, everyone can be infected by the virus, from poor to rich and from young to old but honestly OP's opinion is wrong, we aren't all equal, rich people can fully follow to the health protocols such as stay at home and do not go out as much as possible, go out only if you are gonna get some things for you and your family but poor people needs to be out there in the streets working just to earn some money so that they can have something to eat and I am feeling sad because authorities still manage to arrest some of those people, I mean we are all in the same ocean but were all in a different boat, poor people will risk it because its either they die from the virus or die from hunger and seeing them get arrested for violating quarantine rules makes me think that we are losing humanity, some country's government are struggling to aid their citizen so poor people will not only be depending to the government's help but also to themselves that's why they are risking to go out and find something that will earn them money and put food in their table. This pandemic really makes us see the gap between the poor to rich, this also makes us reveals our true selves whether we will still be concern for others or we'll just take care of ourselves.
