I'm guessing about 30% of the US population is currently at medium to high risk of their life getting seriously upended by 2020 (ranging from PTSD and destroyed careers/businesses to jail or lost life)

I think with 40M unemployed- 120M directly affected in a safe estimate for high risk

If mental health is factored in, the number may be well over 30%. But the U.S. already had some of the highest rates of mental illness in the world. With respect to suicide, rates often decline during crisis, then spike later.

*raises hand* I lost my job in Minneapolis commercial real estate three weeks ago. Literally no jobs available rn. However, I was primarily managing the Midtown Exchange complex in South Minneapolis, so I might be living in a Chinese proverb.
