Any progressive politician worth their salt should be well able to formulate policies that will begin to address the wage and wealth gaps that have increased over the past years, the need for a robust and fair social safety net for everyone who may or may not ever need it and also a fair and equitable taxation system to pay for it.
It is not beyond possibility that this virus could become a seasonal threat and with the aggressive nature of its transmission we could well be playing a life and death game of whack-a-mole with it for years to come, even if we develop a vaccine for it. Those social safety nets I spoke of earlier will therefore already be in place to lessen the impact on the economy and the people affected by any flare up in virus cases.
