This is our World War II moment and we need to respond to it right to survive it

I heard an east coast restauranteur say this today on CNN and he is right. He said he has already had to lay off 300 employees. Multiply this by millions of businesses across the U.S. and you will see that we might have 50 to 100 million people in food service whose jobs are on the line right now across the U.S. It's true that we also have 500,000 homeless people across the U.S. with most of them in California which is the only state rich enough to help them with things like Medi-Cal which is like Medicare for the poor in our state.

So, how do we keep these employees from becoming homeless people by this summer as a nation while they wait for coronavirus to become universal in all our immune systems worldwide or people die if they can't do this?

I would like to put to you this concept. This situation is worse than world war II from an economic point of view already in the way I see this unfolding as a businessman. We must balance people having jobs and people dying. And how we do this will decide whether this nation (or any nation) continues to exist or not.

How we deal with this will decide whether the U.S. stays economically viable or not and this is also true of every other nation on earth as well.
