But why didn't you cry for Chinese Uighur Muslims butchered by the communist government?
Why didn't you cry for the Millions in Syria killed by Assad?
Why didn't you cry for Millions killed in Yemen by Saudi/U.A.E airstrikes?
Why didn't you cry for thousands tortured in prisons of Saudi Arabia?
Does humanity of today deserve covid-19 ?
I say yes.
Millions would also say yes.
Just like when the Black Death came.
Took me a while to realize you're Atlas.
Anyway, I think this is a bad idea of a thread because you fucked up with the "deserve" bit. And I suspect some of the attacks on you here appear to be made in bad faith. You may have bigotry issues (don't we all) but you're not a monster.
Coronavirus is a worldwide problem affecting everyone as you know. It's not just Westerners "paying" for it. And it is a health issue as much as it is an economic one.
Whatever point you're trying to make is being ruined by the way you're wording things and it's not fair at all to say that billions of people are asking for this problem.
To answer your rhetorical questions, it's because human individuals generally don't have the faculties and resources to do, or even care enough to do, what it takes to help thousands or millions of other people living in remote regions with which they have no familiarity. It doesn't mean there isn't an ounce of sympathy and sadness for the sufferings of others, though.
