I am usually very suspicious of the government's motives, but in this case I'm not. Sure, there are people/companies/whatever that will greatly benefit for this disaster, but Covid-19 is a real, serious threat. If you aren't worried for yourself, think about your family, friends, neighbors and strangers who are at risk before you start being a rebel.
I am a (currently unemployed due my move) healthcare worker. My sister who lives with me is a kidney transplant patient, my sister that lives next door is an RN and has an autoimmune disease. I have 2 other siblings (in VT and NC) that have had multiple kidney transplants and one of them is on dialysis again. THESE are the people that are at the highest risk if everyone assumes that this is a hoax or not as serious it's being portrayed.
The sister who lives with me works at TSC and I am desperately searching for a job, any job, that will pay me enough to cover our bills/food/animal stuff and allow her to work as little as possible for the next month or 2.
So PLEASE, in the midst of all this chaos, remember to think about how your actions might affect another.
That being said, as someone who was homeschooled all the way up, I am getting a lot of entertainment out of all my friends on FB who are suddenly finding themselves stuck at home and having to educate their kids themselves. So many good memes going around!
