Or lack thereof. So many people have lost their sole source of income through these lockdowns including my friends and family. People who can’t work from home and whose employers have to shut. The restaurants, bars, cafes. Hairdressers, locksmiths, caregivers, flight attendants. So many can’t get work either because there are now hiring freezes.
Fortunately governments are stepping in but it’s unclear whether the lost income will be fully recovered. Supermarkets are the best bet right now for jobs, or any essential item delivery outlets. Uber is in hot demand here along with taxis. We are prioritising only essential items deliveries. Not sure what this will mean down the line. Nothing funny about all this. Just another part of the lockdown rollercoaster where shit just got even more real.
One rather well-off person I know was actually laughing about those who were “less prepared“ than they were. Yes I tore strips off them. If you are in a good position at this time, I challenge you not to be an arse like this person was and reach out in some way to those who aren’t. It may not be a terror attack but this is still us. Kia kaha.
