Here, Sarah Jones Delves Into The Lives Of The Essential Workers, Seniors, And People With Disabilities Who Were Disproportionately Affected By Covid19Not Due To Their Age Or Profession, But Because Of The Systemic Inequality And Poverty That Left Them Exposed.The Pandemic Served As A Stark Revelation Of The True State Of America, A Country Where The Dream Of Prosperity Is A Distant Mirage For Millions.
