When you are retired living in your paid for dream home, drawing social security and have a pension or investment income that enables you to live very comfortably, it's real easy to ignore how hard it is for the person that has a mortgage/rent, car payment and other living expenses to meet every month. Retirees can easily stay at home and order in their groceries, never having to leave the house. Working people don't have that luxury, they face eviction, loss of their home, car and everything they worked for plus their self esteem. Young people aren't as susceptible to the Corona virus so let them get back to work and get the economy going again. Us old folks can stay at home until a vaccine or an effective treatment has been developed. Your chances of catching the virus are almost non-existent if you stay at home. Until there is a vaccine this virus isn't going away so how long do you think our economy will last waiting for a cure or treatment before we are allowed to live normally? If our economy tanks your pension and investments will likely disappear or be severely reduced.
