Lockdown Lovers are selfish

As it turned out, many people loved lockdown, especially the well-off, middle-aged middle classes with Ocado, gardens and good broadband. 
Says Rachel Johnson, Boris’ younger sister. 
I’m going to go ahead and say: and “many people are plain selfish”. Or ignorant. 
Selfish or ignorant, about what, exactly? Well, about this:
Over two hundred million people have been thrown out of work world-wide.people,are,going hungry.  Hundreds of thousands of small businesses have shuttered. 15,000 restaurants in the US alone have closed, permanently. Lives have been ruined, dreams crushed. And these nice well-off, middle class folk are “lovin’ it”?
