Being Out Of Work

[ck1]

If the coronavirus affected your employment, what would you do if your income suddenly stopped and you had no obvious way of getting a job? I've fortunately never been in this position but had a period of getting by on a few pounds a week. I think this instilled a mindset of constantly worrying about losing everything.

It will be to the government's shame if anyone loses their house over this.

Unfortunately, I think people will.

It has, and I have been in that position many years ago with small children, of not eating so I could feed them. I don't know what will happen financially for us, as we are self-employed and have had to stop Monday lunchtime, due to our symptoms and a client. Hopefully, and unlike many, I know, all being well, we should be able to restart exactly where we stopped. But, in the meantime... no idea yet.

The supermarkets and the farmers all need extra people. Can you find anything with them?

The problem is, maydup, is that people self-isolating because of the risks to others... won't really be able to work anywhere.

pixie374 - how would you balance the risk of being a hazard to other people vs being able to support your family?

It's a difficult time for many because of the pandemic. What I do is that, I searched job online.
