Dear John,
No description of the coronavirus is more misleading than calling it “the great equalizer.”
The horrific truth is that Native Americans, Latinos, and African-Americans are dying at much higher rates than white people.
And as 36.5 million Americans are out of work and struggling to pay the bills, 8 billionaires have seen their wealth grow by more than a billion dollars each during this crisis that’s left so many with so little.
Our latest video explains how systematic inequality in America has produced two very different pandemics. [[link removed]]

Any rush to “open the economy” is really about forcing working people back into harm’s way while the rich and affluent shelter in place on their yachts and multimillion-dollar mansions — continuing to profit from this crisis.
We are all weathering the same storm, but we are not all in the same boat.
This is a tale of two pandemics. There is nothing “equal” about it.
Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
