It’s a very valid concern. These lay-offs will potentially leave thousands, if not millions, of workers unemployed and without health insurance or the ability to pay for medical coverage if they do get sick. Besides this, people will struggle to pay rent and other bills like car payments, credit card debt, and student loans. Closures may make sense from a health standpoint, but without a package to support the people laid off, a lot of lives will be ruined in the process.

Didn’t seem to have an answer for the “How are you going to help that?” part of the question.

My understanding is they arent allowed to take action if you dont pay your rent or utilities while under quarantine.
Thought that was all 50 states?
