The American Prospect 8Mukunda 9

 

When you're a predator, the calculation of when to reopen the economy looks very different than it does to most of us. In the absence of a vaccine or treatment, Covid-19, unchecked by social distancing, will likely kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. But for a predator, sacrificing other people to maximize your wealth is the way you got rich in the first place.
-- Gautam Mukunda. Republicans, Predators and the Pandemic The American Prospect, "Unsanitized" (May 24, 2020).
