If you haven't got your health then you haven't got your wealth.

The saying “If you haven’t got your health then you haven’t got your wealth” is true now more than ever.  San Francisco is an incredibly wealthy city. By spreading your wealth around right now to the least fortunate you might be safeguarding both your health and your wealth.  Right now I’m trying to convince my family to convince my aunt and uncle who live in Paris to take into their home their home health aid who usually commutes to their house.  By bringing him into their home the create a family unit and can isolate that unit and still have the care that they need. What good will your wealth do you if you’re stuck at home six months from now because COVID-19 is still travelling around the homeless population.  And in fact I would argue that the more strongly you act now using your wealth to bring down and contain this contagion then the more wealth you’ll have when this is all over.
