52.6 million people have filed for unemployment benefits in the last 18 weeks: Millions are now at risk for losing their health insurance too because that is tied to their jobs which they no longer have.
So, if they get sick from coronavirus I guess many or most of them will choose to die at home with no tests and no doctors involved rather than have their families go bankrupt at sending them to the hospital with no health insurance.
This is EXACTLY why the 2/3 of the people dying of coronavirus who have never been tested need to be reported which is what I try to do here at this site.
26.8 million people who are now laid off are among those facing life now with no health insurance because of losing their jobs because of coronavirus. Jobs being lost are all kinds but especially in restaurants and cruise ships and bars all over the U.S.
It's also important to remember that at one point 47% of the American people would have starved to death without food banks during the last few months as well as losing their apartments or rooms or homes where they live throughout the U.S.
With the 600 dollars a week benefit to those laid off disappearing as of Saturday (two days from now), Congress needs to get it's act together before most people have nowhere to turn but illegal ways to make money to survive (the 47%) who will lose their places to live the longer Congress waits to help them.
The figures of 1.4 million and 52.6 million and 47% of the people needing food banks came from CNN during the last weeks and months including today.
