Let’s Insert Some Philosophy into the Response to the Pandemic

…and the definition of “socialism.”

It shouldn’t be a political debate, but somehow it is. What should we as a society do in response to the Coronavirus pandemic? Seems obvious to anyone with any humanity: save people’s lives. Strangely, some feel we shouldn’t spend efforts to save people’s lives — in particular, right-wingers from the US, UK, and Brazil. Some are even hostile to attempts to help people survive the pandemic. We need to insert some philosophical analysis into this to understand it.
