Hospitals are already beyond capacity, yet the governor refuses to issue a state-wide order. Likely due to Trump’s ridiculous timeline of things being back to normal within two weeks.
So because of this stupidity, people are having to choose between the safety of themselves and their loved ones, or go to work anyway just to keep their position. I made the decision last week, and it’s family and health full-stop, but it’s still a very bad situation for worker’s income and future. I know some guys that are terrified and want to stay home for their family’s safety, yet they don’t have the minor monetary luxury of being able to make the decision themselves.
