So many commenters are missing crucial context to this infographic.

This was released during peak covid and I mean PEAK as in June 2020, global lockdowns, high mortality rates, shortages of essentials. In case anyone has a short memory, the world as we knew it practically ground to a halt.

Not to take away anything from artists but essential in this context meant essential to the basic human needs. Health, Nutrition, Sanitation.

The world you knew ground to a halt.

I was working in healthcare at the time. I was doing 60 hours a week, home, work, home, work, home, work. Nonstop.

The world did not stop because you couldn’t go into an office to sit and work.
