A Surefire Cure!

One of the problems with the Elite handling a crisis, is that they don't, for example, grocery shop in the way that the people they rule over do. Even on the off chance that the "help" is off and they need a special meal for a tryst or whatnot, or their fave restaurant is booked, they "shop" at trendy little high-end stores that sell items categorized by diet strategy. They do not see that calling for going without a grocery visit for two weeks would likely do more harm to a family than one of them contracting a mostly-curable virus. It is just so frustrating to see all of our "betters" making decisions for us as if they were playing the Sims and they could just turn off the players' free will and/or needs. This is not a game. At least not to us.
