I've been laid off more times than not.  And though I've still got my job (I work remote on a computer and so far I'm minimally effected by all of this), I could get laid off too.  If I get laid off then so be it. That's why we have unemployment benefits and on top of that, the government will send everyone $2k apparently. This will be more of an inconvenience for most people than anything else. Business owners who have to shut down, however, is a different issue.  It's a lot easier to go find a new job as an employee than to restart a business. In any case, I do believe that whatever sacrifices are made will be worth it. Keep in mind, we're trying to end modern day slavery here.  And I mean "slavery" in more than one way. The central banks are hoping they can win this standoff.  If we capitulate they will.  We can't let that happen. Personally, I will continue to get food from establishments for as long as I can, even if it's only carryout and they're charging me 10% extra. I picked up from a local Bar B Q joint yesterday and it was evident that the employees were very grateful for the business.  It impressed upon me how critical it is that those of us who can keep doing business at these local places have a civic duty to keep doing so in the midst of all this.  And I will continue to do so unless or until the national guard tells me I can't. For the fact that they announced a cure yesterday, people should worry less about their safety/health.  Now it's just about doing what needs to be done as quickly and thoroughly as possible so to minimize the economic damage. And remember, if our government under POTUS actually seizes the assets of the cabal (per the EO POTUS signed in 2017), then whatever financial problems people think they will be facing will likely be erased in short order. Hang in there, and remember..if you're laid off you can get benefits until this shit calms down and we can get back to normal.  Millions of people have had to deal with this in the past.  It's not an insurmountable problem.  Relax and stay the course.
