We need to be making it possible for people to earn a living safely. We need to be focused on creating new work opportunities that work in the current climate.
This "waiting for things to return to normal" looks pretty dumb to me. I think the stimulus checks and other relief funds are smarter than just throwing a third of Americans out into the street, but it's not really a long term solution. A long term solution is the economy needs to adapt and we need to create work opportunities and reshape work with more of an eye towards germ control.
I've been trying to write down some of my thoughts about how we move forward in a sensible way. For example:
Earlier this year I wrote about a work opportunity I know of and about my opinion that this model should be borrowed for other kinds of work. That piece is here:

I also wrote about my thought that more eateries need a contactless takeout option similar to Little Caesar's pizza portal:

I'm very frustrated at the kinds of things I see other people saying. We need to stop framing this as an either/or thing: Either we protect ourselves from the virus or we go back to work.
We need to do both. We need to figure that out. We aren't even trying. This assumption that we need to choose one or the other is part of the problem. It's not true.
