We all have a role to play in this world. If the 75 year old doctor in Italy can come out of retirement to literally put his life at risk to work on the front lines of Covid (and then die on those front lines), we can all figure out a way to do our own duties.
I've worked through the pandemic because I was asked to and I'm essential. I certainly don't need the cash. I did it because "we're all in this together".

Do you feel better after that back pat?
But yes, I do agree in a way. I think we have a duty to bring our gifts to society/the world, whatever they may be. Because it's what we are good at/passionate about that makes the world better, and thats the point of doing it.
If some people use covid as an opportunity to bow out of things that were a waste of their potential or not serving them in some way then that's an exception I can understand and get behind.
