Guys, not fear mongering, I am sure it's coming (see the CDC things below)...
Most of us are hourly, this will be bad.
Here is what the CDC said today (bullets below)...
If they close schools, I cannot work (single with kids).
I have no savings.
Pray = Yes / Hope = Yes
But it's not looking good either way I cut it.
What do you think?
CDC Quotes:
- “Ultimately, we expect we will see community spread in this country. It’s not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illness.”
- She suggested, among other things, that parents ask their local schools what their plan is for closures and if they have any plans to conduct teleschool, and that workers ask their companies if telecommuting is an option.
- “Now is the time for businesses, hospitals, communities, schools, and everyday people to begin preparing as well.”
