"I certainly feel that what's being revealed to us in the current global crisis is how the systems that we labor under are not serving us well," Blanchett said, and wondered how different American response to the pandemic would have been, had the ERA passed in the 1970s.  "What laws would have been put in place to shore up equality, not only between the sexes but between races, between the 1% and the 99%?" she asked. "I have to guess that we'd be in a very different place. And it is very telling, I think, it's still not enshrined in the constitution, which is an inspirational document from which laws get made, that the sexes are equal, that all American citizens are equal. And I think that has huge ideological and practical ramifications on the position we find ourselves in right now (with coronavirus)."Blanchett also expressed her support for those on the front lines fighting the pandemic."My heart goes out particularly to the people who are really risking their lives for the rest of us. The medical workers and first responders. They're extraordinarily brave and self-sacrificing and we couldn't be functioning with out them," she said.
