a good example of how what happened in other parts of the world we also need to care about from a moral standpoint, esp the stronger party towards the weak and needy. Morality is about being OTHER-centred as opposed to SELF-centred. But the same example below obviously can also be SELF-centred coz unless the US is prepared to lockdown the entire country, preventg pple from coming in and ocming out of the country, then continued growing problem of Covid-19 will sooner or later end up at the doorstep of the US and infiltrate into the country. So helping others is in a sense helping oneself too (Think the kindness AQ we discussed recently). In otherwords, international issues can become national issues....
A more clear-cut example the Rohingyas crisis coz whatever happens to them actually does not affect other countries much, except perhaps Bangladesh, coz the more the Rohingyas are persecuted, the more they will escape to seek asylum in nearby Bangladesh, so Bangladesh will have a personal self-interest in ensuring this international issue is resolves so that it does not become a national issue....But for the larger part of the world (esp if they are too far for the Rohingyas to escape to) has little stake in what happens to the Rohingyas. So caring for them will be from a purely moral stand point, based on the idea that we are all part of the same humanity (i.e. the international issue of Rohingyas has little chance of becoming a national issue)...
"Right now, if you take southern Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, parts of Asia, South America and even parts of the Caribbean as areas that don't have the healthcare system to be able to respond the way one can respond in New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans or Chicago, we have really a moral responsibility for people throughout the world,"
