Me too. In the end, only a government entity is capable of supporting the costs of this thing. Other than the sort of businesses that can be done from home, all non-essential businesses are going to be shuttered pretty soon.

Social distancing and testing are the key to survival.

I agree with Alexander.

Senate GOP Blocks Emergency Paid Sick Leave Bill From Moving Forward

The legislation put forth by Democrats would guarantee 14 days of paid leave for workers affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
...

Alexander said that paid sick leave is a “good idea.” But if lawmakers want to require employers to provide it, then the federal government should have to foot the bill, he argued.

“Employees are struggling, our employers are struggling, and it’s not a cure for the coronavirus to put a big new expensive federal mandate on employers who are struggling in the middle of this matter,” Alexander said.
