And presumably, the beauty of all its pain, its deaths, of the fears of elderly and vulnerable, those who can’t make it to the shops themselves, the anxiety of workers as they lose their lobs, business owners as they shut their doors, of children, stuck indoors, at home, unable to see their friends, of all of us as we see our superannuation evaporate.
