She can take the two weeks off without losing her job since she’s a full time employee and we can afford it but if they extend it, that would hurt. We’re a one income family right now. Family of four on $1200/mth. We’re frugal to say the least. I’m set up to start making money from home this year but not if we drain our bank account self quarantining. Between the two of us, we have a combined work history of 45+ years and neither of us has ever collected unemployment so I think it’s time to lean on the system for a change, whenever the system will allow it.
Just another reason that the statewide shutdowns are premature (except for the skrewels — kids can spread it like wildfire).
