These people are being quarantined. Maybe they can afford to do that.

What happens with people who cannot afford to even miss one day of work or that have no health insurance? They are most likely going to be wiped out by the consequences of a quarantine. Since that represents roughly forty-percent of the workforce, the real problems in the country that are not being addressed will become very evident.

Homeless people will not be able to self-quarantine, so I guess that will provide a Fascist bonanza for Trump's scapegoating, because camps may be the final solution as far as his regime is concerned.
