I fear the pschological effects this will have

[edhopper]

People are worried about losing their jobs, their businesses and their homes. They are fearful about the health of their loved ones.
This can take a great toll on one's psyche. There are people out there who are alone and isolated. I fear we may see people in despair, fall into destructive behavior and even take their own life. I see a lot of pain out there.

I want to add. It is important to keep talking to friends and family and comfort each other as much as we can.

1. And we have a President who is only really concerned about his re-election chances.

He is not to blame for the emergency, but he is to blame for his deliberate delays in responding.

5. It is always, and only

all about him.

With the added bonus of opening him up to questions from the media.

It's been oh-k!

I have my S.O. home with me since she can't travel any more.

I wouldn't mind it just being me and her forever!

8. Long-term, it may do more damage than the virus.

I also fear serious rises in crime, homelessness, divorce and permanent business closures......

10. Yes

which adds to the fear.
