I chose this cartoon to talk about because I want to acknowledge the true heros in this whole pandemic. Those people are doctors, delivery men/women, and the people that work in supermarkets. These people are risking their lives everyday just to save ours and I feel like the media should be preaching them more than anybody right now. Right now it can be argued that these people are getting more exposed to the virus than anyone else right now. It takes a lot out of a person to risk their life everyday for others not knowing if they can harm themselves or even their loved ones. It takes a growth mindset to go outside everyday because going outside is a risk. Doctors with family are at risk the most because of how exposed doctors are of germs and are the people that are trying to figure out what this virus is all about. Also, we have to give respect to the people that deliver these supplies and goods everyday. These people go to a lot of different people’s houses everyday, so these people are getting exposed to multiple parts of a city that have the virus, especially a city like New York. They are also giving the people the pleasure to stay home and be safe while other people take that risk to deliver these goods to the people. Also, one thing that outside the cartoon that I think is missing is celebrities that have been donating a lot of money to the people that need it and we are talking about supplying food and goods. I think these celebrities should be acknowledged too because i feel like they are doing more than the government when it comes to supplies. It’s good to see the top 1% in the economy help the people that need it, but overall these people are the real heroes of this whole virus.
This cartoon has a sweet message, but makes an important point – especially by including not just doctors, but also delivery people as Heroes of the Pandemic.
