Who deserves a funeral?

[Catseye3]

Who's this "we"? Who gets buried how is decided by the survivors or admirers of the deceased. Does COVID convey some sort of larger "we" who get to establish the rules about this? Am I too far off in guessing that this writer would be happy to be a part of the "we"? And that the writer is white?

It's an excellent point/question. I didn't give it too much thought the other day until I saw a tweet from someone who was burying his father the next day and was limited to 10. He said, matter of factly, "I guess my father wasn't important".

Lewis had around 28 funerals, seems like..

With 100+ at each one. While other Americans are limited to 10.

Exempt

attendees to the Atlanta funeral of the late Rep. John Lewis are exempt from following the District of Columbia's strict quarantine rules after returning home from Georgia, the D.C. mayor's office says. ..

Under current District of Columbia rules, all of those individuals would normally be required to self-quarantine for two weeks upon returning to D.C. City Mayor Muriel Bowser's recent quarantine order dictates that any individual traveling to a "high-risk area" for "non-essential" reasons must self-quarantine for 14 days upon entering the District.
