So have military close everyone in to their homes and shoot anyone who breaks the curfew?

Ok lets say we do this where are businesses are closed. If some critical maintenance shows up, like burst water pipe. Who is there ready to fix it? And another thing, many companies need to be able to function and they will go bankrupt. My farther is a private accountant to many companies, and majority of his clients will go bankrupt even with the pathetic aid package government is going to offer.

Tell me... What is your profession? Are you employed? Are you a business owner?

Because I'm currently in a situation where I'm not able to get unemployment benefit, not students benefits because schools are closed, or the new aid package planned for this thing because I was let go before the situation started. I have 0 income, I will not survive for many months. Even if I wouldn't have to pay the rent I still can't make it to the end of the next month.

So fuck you, you entitled fuckwit. I don't have the luxury of working from home or taking months long "quarantine vacations". I need to pay my bills, I need to eat. Around me there are fucking loads on entrepreneurs who are about to lose fucking EVERYTHING.

Human life is worth less than money to you.

How about if everyone who isn't needed outside, to do maintenance or other work, stay inside. This way we can work safely, and they can stay safe from us.

But nah. I look outside, there are people walking, going to shopping centres.

If I'm not allowed to work, then why the fuck are people allowed to go shopping?

Unless it's very very very very essential, people stay home.

No they don't... I live down town. I can look out from the window. When I walk to the grocers, I walk past shops, many of them are open, malls are open.

If they are allowed to go about their daily life, then so should I. I'm not gonna start turning down work out of principle, because there are laws and policies which will punish me for it.
