TALES OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE:

NYC real estate broker losing $250,000 because of coronavirus pandemic.

‘I lost not one but three jobs because of the coronavirus’.

Airbnb host went from making $3,800 a month to $0 amid coronavirus.

Staten Island car dealer still has to pay $500K in interest while lot closed.

Caterer spent $20,000 on expanding business — then coronavirus hit.

Dog walker asks clients to pay him half-salary during coronavirus.

Important correction, though: these losses are NOT due to coronavirus. They’re due to the decision to place a country of 320 million under house arrest, instead of merely trying to protect those at highest risk.
Also note these people are in NYC and so, due to population density/way of living at higher risk than people in the rest of the country who don’t ride subways and don’t live in apartment buildings.

And yet, these losses are all over. Why? Because our “betters” think we’re all Manhattan. Or because they just like power. Your choice.
