The Toll

I am more concerned about the emotional rather than physical toll this thing is taking.  Unless there is a fact-based scenario (which the WHO should be able to generate right now)  what happens to people under serious financial stress?   Surely we can do better than this?   The WHO needs to start adding up suicide rates from lack of financial stability and depression from the impact, including isolation and the toll that takes.  Imagine being in the grimmest hour financially as a business owner, you've already been sick for weeks, months even years wondering how to make ends meet and trying to support the kids and then this hits. What are people to do? They are too small to have a big fall back like a bank when all debts are ultimately written off.  😖
