The essay question is based on the following: The current situation in the United States (and much of the world) is quite extraordinary due to COVID-19 (aka coronavirus). Several recent occurrences are described here (all after most local public schools closed on March 13, 2020). Wildish relocated to his vacation home in northern Idaho so he would avoid being exposed to COVID-19. Ulwelling heard about Wildish’s relocation and, without doing any research of his own, immediately got the feeling that he should do the same thing. However, Siddiqui, who was Ulwelling’s supervisor, ordered him to report to work in Irvine on the regular schedule since “I am the boss and you are the employee.” Siddiqui believed that keeping a consistent schedule was better for the employees and the company alike. Saint saw several packages of toilet paper left unattended so she stole them because she could not find it elsewhere and she had five young children. Francis saw an elderly couple take a container of hand sanitizer from the shelf at the market so he moved quickly to grab all of the rest of the containers before they could get more. Voorhees saw this and he handed two containers of the hand sanitizer to the elderly couple since he wished someone would do that for him if he were elderly. The large supermarket chain called Ralph’s limited all customers to two packages of meat per purchase so that more people could buy meat. Jade limited her shopping since she knew her mother would disapprove if mother found out Jade was a hoarder. Finally, Shaadie thought that “this whole coronavirus thing is a product of socialist fake news put out by the Democrat-friendly media.”
