Could not agree more, and the Philippines is another one of those "third world countries" that a lot of call center work has been outsourced to as well.
Both these countries have a lot in common, the have's and the have not's. It is a shame at a time like this, the have not's have to make the personal choice between potential health risks and keeping their jobs, because there is always 100 people that would be grateful to have it waiting in the queue to take their position if they left.
Unfortunately, this is not new, only scarier for them because of the virus we all now face.
Sadly, neither of these countries is any different than other 3rd world countries, other than they get these call center jobs because of English being taught there and the ability to interface with customers needs, so both are very grateful for the jobs this provides them. The level of squalor in both is unimaginable to most that have never been to a 3rd world country.
Having been to both (and lived in one) I can tell you this virus has people realizing what has been a way of life for them longer than any of us has been alive.
