No, we are not the ones caring for the sick in intensive care wards. 这个组织的网站上发布了一封公开信，其成员表示：“新冠疫情席卷全球，我们这些百万富翁在助力全球复苏上负有不可推卸的责任。我们的责任不是在重症监护病房里照顾病人， We are not driving the ambulances that will bring the ill to hospitals. We are not restocking grocery store shelves or delivering food door to door. But we do have money, lots of it. Money that is desperately needed now and will continue to be needed in the years ahead, as our world recovers from this crisis.” |
