It shows that capitalism can't withstand a pandemic very well. It leads to low-wage workers like yourself going without income for the safety and security of the nation, That's clearly not sustainable. You've said it yourself. The only remedy you have under capitalism is to ignore it and let the virus spread.
Complete nonsense.  A government can provide income to people out of work without abandoning capitalism.  It's a capitalist economy that produces the revenue necessary for all the goodies we love, education, health care, etc.  Capitalism is essentially just recognizing private property rights, and the voluntary purchasing of goods and services.  If you're against that, you're against freedom.  Which doesn't really surprise me.  I get that freedom gets in the way of your pandemic mitigation response.  But you're advocation for totalitarianism is ridiculous.
