Certainly there is suffering in the world. How will more suffering be an improvement?
Did you shed a tear for the Tibetan Buddhists slain by the Chinese? Do you weep for the Bahai or the Yazidi? Or do you only become indignant when it is your own that are harmed?
COVID-19 won't care whether you've been good or bad or which direction you pray. It will replicate in your lung tissue just as happily as mine. I don't think that either of us deserve that but you may be too much of a zealot to understand why I wouldn't wish you harm.
The mistake you made is that you considered "first world citizens" to be "third world citizens".
In other words: France and America are not Yemen or Syria.
How is that a mistake? Do you think that COVID-19 will be better in a Syrian refugee camp? The people that you claim to care about will be more thoroughly fucked than the first world countries will but here you are cheering on the virus. You don't seem to care about them so long as the people that you hate suffer.
