On another note, the local area has started help groups to get food for people.
What is an effective grassroots approach to epidemics, aside from that?
We know people in hospitality and others will be on unpaid leave, so I think we all need to donate like mad to foodbanks (of course), homelessness charities and of course other charities that also offer money to pay for heating/electricity.
But since it looks renters won't get relief (perhaps the government optimistically hopes landlords will suspend the rent as they don't have a mortgage to pay, but in the case of some companies / asshole LL that won't happen) I wonder if perhaps a money pool is also needed?
