The great thing about art is being able to express whatever you want because it’s art not a newspaper or magazine. If you don’t like it then don’t look at it.
The doom and gloom guy who commented above needs to realize that money is just money, it’s replaceable but human life isn’t and once someone dies they are never coming back, we can go out and work hard for another grandmother, father, sister, friend to replace the one that passed away. All the money in the world isn’t worth a single life.

Whilst I understand messages of hope we are heading for a cataclysmic situation whereby society will not be able to recover in our lifetime. I understand the self isolation imposed due to Covid-19 is a way of deterring its spread but locking in communities will have disastrous effects on their mental health and family stability. Schools should never have been closed because the children are far safer in school than wandering around their neighbourhoods exposing their vulnerability, and imposing a strain on parents and grandparents. I would have advocated a continuance of everything by confronting this virus headon and accepting a proportion of fatalities as a result. If only 90% of all cases escape the disease then this would have been a better course of action than shutting down everything. You cannot operate this shutdown like a tap and so that when the embargo is lifted you can simply turn it on again and everything returns to normal. There will be no normal. The shutdown means many companies go out of business beyond a point of recovery. The main industries which are all interconnected by way of supplying products or components will grind to a halt which will affect us all. The power stations will be affected and when homes are denied heating and power then panic will set in.
