Thanks bro. I’m not looking for pity though. Just wanted to get a pulse on how this is affecting everyone.
I don’t know if I’m in denial or what. Just stunned

Losing a job is part of life. I've lost jobs, been fired. Big deal. Go get another one. The bigger problem is people thinking they are too good for certain jobs. Screw that. Go get a job as soon as possible.
Holding out for something better is usually not a good idea. Who really wants to hire somebody sitting around for 8 months. I wouldn't. If they worked at a car wash or delivered pizzas I would be more inclined to hire them for the better job. Getting a holdover job can also lead to networking for a better one. I had that happen once. Told me I was a hard worker and wanted me to go work for them. Eventually I surpassed all those jobs being relentless about circumstances I wanted. Go get a job and there is no time to feel sorry for yourself.
Cute. Telling someone to go get a job when everything is at reduced staffing or shut down entirely. Nobody's going to be hiring right now, Spiffy.
Didn't think that jab through too well, did ya?

I'm anticipating it in the near future.
I work as a brewer. The profit margins in brewing are already thin. I can't imagine staying afloat after a month or more of being closed.
I honestly don't know what I'm going to do if I lose my job. Obviously nobody is going to be hiring while this whole crisis is going on. My wife and I bought our first house six months ago.
If the government doesn't do something to help those businesses that are now suddenly going under and the people now out of work we're going to see a spike in homelessness. Which will just make this whole thing worse.

My first objection came today due to the corona virus in my trade. Ended up fixing the machine instead of replacing a 25 year old air conditioner.. it’s starting..
