You haven’t talked to many workers then. None of my hubby’s 30 something coworkers want to tangle with this thing after the early 40 something in new orleans was in the icu for several weeks. Who can pay THAT bill? Make a few bucks back at work and then whammo you can never retire.
And it’s 1200/person.
Family of four gets 3400.
Then they quit their job if they are scared. You are saying the government should tell them what to do. Their jobs will not be there if they stay home, because we will be in a depression.
3400 is nothing. That goes fast.
I worked in the early days of AIDS, when everyone else was afraid of AIDS patients, but I still went to work as a nurse. So you can stop saying my portfolio is going to be ruined influencing my decision. I worked in the trenches for 30 years, you did not .
The only way we are going to solve this is herd immunity, and by allowing people to stay home with government financial assistance for the next couple of months if they are high risk.
A quarantine solves nothing. It only takes one person to transmit this virus again.
