7. Think about who is least likely to get sick pay

or even have a job waiting if they have to take a week to ten days of sick leave: people who deal with the public.

That's who will be spreading this thing: wait staff. retail workers. fast food workers, cab drivers, and the dozens of other people we see in a normal day who work for peanuts and make the world run.

It's a country that has remained blind to its people for the past 50 years that will spread this one. It's a killer, but unless it kills people named Pope and Mercer and Adelson and Koch, nothing will be done. Again.
