Some folks would say that's welfare and socialism. They would say that another's lack of preparation does not mean their tax dollars should subsidize them just because they're "going through a difficult time".
It's not the governments responsibility to take care of you. If you do not have enough money save to go a couple of weeks not working, then you should not have toys like a Harley, especially not a CVO. The government recommends 6 months of your salary in savings for emergencies.
I guess I'm in the minority here, as I think this is a huge over reaction and will hurt the economy massively.
so we have 61 coronavirus deaths in the USA as of this AM. Very small number
So far 22,000 flu deaths in 2019. Why the panic?
2017-2018 flu season 61,00 deaths.
2018-2019 flu season 34,157 deaths
These numbers come from the CDC.
I am a high risk individual due to receiving Chemotherapy treatment. My Oncologist said nothing about coronavirus and quarantining myself. He basically said, keep my hands clean, keep my hands away from my face and stay away from any one coughing. Not one word about staying out of public places.
I can help but believe this is politically motivated. Reason is we have had many viruses over the past 20 years, they have all killed way more people but there was no mass hysteria and no panic, heck hardly in the news until over 10,000 deaths in the USA.
