People get confused when the stock market goes up despite people losing their jobs. The truth is that many companies will be more profitable and efficient with fewer employees. Investors pay for returns not jobs.
I like to pay my bills promptly normally. But many companies, credit cards and landlords have some flexibility. Keep cash on hand for food and necessities. Try to extend, renegotiate or just straight up owe anything else if you are in a tight spot.
This is not unusual- states are not equipped for the volume of unemployment claims. Stay strong and figure out what bills you can put off. Stimulus checks should arrive soon. And sign up at https://t.co/wPEsjBJHWj - we have a massive backlog but will do all we can. 👍
Goddamn this shit is infuriating. Gary Locke is as American as the day is long. Trump rewriting history as if he effectively responded to the virus is utter garbage. We lost 70 days and thousands of lives due to his incompetence and disregard for what was happening overseas.

Nevada, a state in one of the richest countries in the world, has painted social-distancing boxes on a concrete parking lot for the homeless to sleep in.
I have COVID-19. I lost my smell and taste for weeks among other symptoms. Luckily, I am over the hump and on the mend. I’m hoping to donate my plasma to Mount Sinai or others, and if you’re in the same boat as me, I encourage you to do the same.

In all seriousness a degree of habit and structure is immensely helpful. Give yourself an hour to exercise, time off from social media, reading time, alone time, videochat time, fun time etc. if you can. Being in close quarters with other people 24/7 is a major adjustment.
