Wuhan’s Virus and Quarantine Will Hit the Poor Hardest

I fell like the article is overthinking it. If it’s contained to Wuhan it may affect the poor there more than any other group.<p>If it spreads beyond Wuhan it will affect the poor in Wuhan _and_ the poor in other cities.<p>One city’s poor vs many city’s poor. Gov. has to make a decision.

Almost every change in policy direction will hit the poor hardest because they, by definition, have the fewest available resources to handle that change. That is not the argument to say a policy change should not be made, because without that policy, it will hit us all harder, and by then, the poor will only be left worse off.
