Shutting the world down hurts those who can least afford for it to be shut down

I don’t really think anybody is actually considering how shutting down life is going to affect those on the lower end of the pay scale who depend upon their hours and pay and cannot afford to miss work purely economically speaking. Those people who are living paycheck to paycheck and have to live somewhere, but get evicted simply because society severely overreacted to a virus.

Think about just the way in which the fear over all of this is hurting them already, not to mention the actual shutting down of say restaurants, bars, and other social gathering businesses. Think about how it’s affected hotels by cancelling all these conventions. Think about how that loss in revenue is affecting all of us.

I don’t think these people on the lower end of the pay scale can afford a long term shut down of life, and it’s going to hurt not just them, but all of us.
