[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect the construction workers would rather be sheltering at home than out getting a miserable disease while the area's death numbers are still at peak. But we're not going to allow that.

You would expect wrong. People with staff jobs who can eff around working from home want to shelter in place. But there are millions of people out there one missed paycheck away from losing everything and they are desperate to work.[/quote]

They are desperate to work because the alternative (as you say) is losing everything. That doesn't mean they wouldn't rather be sheltering at home.[/quote]

I am freelance making no income as my entire industry is closed down. I can't pretend to work from home like most people on DCUM and collect a check every two weeks.

I expect to have income for January and February of this year and that's it. I've saved and lived frugally and can last a year plus, but am applying for jobs in essential positions because my industry may never come back. I have two children and will need to go back to work at someday so would rather start sooner than later. [/quote]
