People were out of work for multiple years straight and a lot of people lost their homes. I had both of those happen to me. No realistic paying job for 5 years straight and eventually at the end of that it was bankruptcy followed swiftly by losing the house. And when I see the business owners talking about what the lockdown is doing, I see it all over again. Meanwhile, there's a segment of the population who either is lucky enough to have a business not affected or they work in some capacity where they aren't meaningfully affected, so they largely just go on thinking there's not much wrong. Thankfully this time around my family seems to be in the unaffected category, but I know what I'm looking at and it's not good.
