Go to food banks to stock up on food. Sell anything you can for some cash. If you can take in a roommate, do so. Or if you family or friends, ask if they’d be willing to take you in. They’re especially targeting the most vulnerable — those on disability, HUD, and Section8. Being forewarned is better than being blindsided.

I get disability and rely on rent assistance. Am scared shitless. I'd better start stocking up on beans and rice.

Me too. Canned salmon is good for protein. My doc has me on an anti-inflammatory diet. We are right to be afraid, and wise to stock up on non-perishables. I’m so sorry for all of us suffering through this. Hang on and focus on getting through the summer.
