This is the pandemic of privilege. People with money can:
- Use the poor as human shields, doing all of their "essential work"
- Send their kids to private schools, homeschool with tutors, etc.
- Obtain private special services (therapies, etc) privately & pay out of pocket

If you are not loudly advocating for the reopening of schools and society in general, you never again get to tell anyone to "check your privilege."

I count myself as one of the privileged. I use Instacart (and always have), I am paying $$$ for private occupational therapy because everything public & covered in-network is via Zoom and inadequate. I am spending A LOT of time forming social groups for my kids.

I have been loudly in favor of reopening because I recognize that privilege and see how damaging this is for those without the opportunities we have.
