My brother got tested last Tuesday for Corona. He's still waiting on the results. My Mother tried filing for partial unemployment because the company she works for closed down as a health concern and won't be opening back up for a few weeks, and she was denied unemployment.

Telling people to stay at home and then denying them any financial support will go over like a fart in church! People are going to take their chances with the virus if it means they will be able to buy some fucking food and utilities!

How do you know that your mother's place of employment is opening up in a few weeks?

Good point. She works as a vendor in Cosco, BJ's and Target and all three of those joints are still open for business. She also works in CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aids but while some of them are still open as "essential businesses" the company She works for shut down out of fear of the outbreak and will not send any employees to these stores to service the accounts.

Technically She still has a job, and could theoretically go to work since the stores are open and do the jobs but the company won't pay and the shit heads at unemployment aren't willing to pay up.

I got into vending years ago and work for another company. My company is still willing to pay us if we are willing to go out and do the jobs we volunteer for. I was still willing to go into places like Target and Wal-Mart and whatnot and take on these jobs because hell, I need money! My Mom not qualifying for unemployment doesn't leave me with a whole lot of alternatives.

Take your chances out there in the trenches, or sit at home with no income being told off by some state worker numb nuts you don't qualify for unemployment because you still have a job and could be working? Stay at home and self isolate isn't really an option for me.
