Hidden costs of Quarantine:
1) Higher grocery bills. Hoarders don't snatch up luxury products, but low cost items- that people on tight budgets usually buy. Store brands hard to find. Brand names limited. Organics, over-priced are only choice (if any). Staples like eggs, bread
2) Costs of suddenly working from home. If not already set up for this- those who need to do so likely have to buy a few things. One example: I noticed that it was hard to find mic headsets for phones- sold out. Probably because of the rush to set up for working from home.
3) Costs involved with having more family members home (they consume more food, in a different schedule, use more supplies such as toilet paper- if the household has any left). During summer, many kids are involved in daycamps. There are no such activities right now.
4) Increased burden, while nothing offsetting it. When times get tough, many seek temp jobs or part time jobs to fill in the gaps, but that's not likely at this time.
5) I could go on and on here, and this is assuming that no one has lost their job- and of course we know that many have. So, my point is, that people may be already feeling the strain. How will people respond? Resentment will likely develop- toward what/who?
6) A month is a long time when bills are due that can't be paid. The small checks might stall the resentment for a while. I hope so. The coup wants America to be angry and ready for chaos. We need America open ASAP. The cures are promising- hopefully we can open for business
7) I believe that the work citizens are doing to expose the propaganda that maximizes the damaging effects of the pandemic, and stokes fear, is the best approach to helping America end this as soon as possible. When the treatments succeed in big enough numbers, America can open.
8) Schools already closed for the of this school year and then it's summer break, so that's a done deal. But can we get America working again? I certainly hope so... when treatments work enough to meet the threshold. Meanwhile, exposing plots to make this stretch out- thank you!
9) I really believe that citizens are making a big difference in this propaganda war, and it could mean more than we'll ever know. Hope is a challenging commodity to hold on to, but makes all the difference in success or failure. Thank you to all of you who are countering lies.
10) And to all of you who are struggling with hardships, I wish for you a one-day-at-a-time approach. Just get through today. Find something joyful, funny, and grateful... get through one day. Just today. Keep on doing that. God bless you, and pull you through. /end thread/
