Have you thought about which hospital you would go to if you would require hospitalization? Have you considered the first responders, nurses and other healthcare providers and their families? Perhaps another few weeks of self-isolation and selflessness might be the best idea. I know that all of us want to go back to life as we knew it. You may be longing to go back to the squares, but none of us want to go back to square one. So I beseech you, consider your fellow man.

Have you considered those that are unemployed and currently struggling to make ends meet? At the current rate there will be 27 million unemployed across the country by June 1. The overwhelming majority who live here are fortunate that they can make ends meet without having to be employed, but unfortunately that is not the case for the hundreds of service type workers who fill the jobs that support our extracurricular activities such as dining out, hairdressers, barbers, and many others. The moral and social consequences of 27 million unemployed will be in place for years and even after this current event will be remembered as a historic event. Not so for those whose lives will be changed forever as a result of long term unemployment.
