Saving the world by pandemic: pandemic and demographic

Once upon a time there was a global pandemic. And at first it seemed that the winners of this crisis were the usual suspects: the wealthy.

Most of them didn't have jobs to lose, some (especially those involved with new technology, medicine and toilet paper) even made huge gains during the lockdown.
They comfortably isolated in their mansions


while those who were less well off, especially those in urban areas, were crowded into tiny apartments where they made each other miserable or worse.


The rich rode about in their limousines 


while the poor infected each other on public transport.



So the poor died first, but the wealthy soon found that there were no workers left to make their products and no consumers to buy them. So they slowly became extinct as well.


With no one left to destroy it, Earth recovered and lived happily ever after.

The End
