Hightail it for KY now if that's where you can hole up with shelter and food for the next several months (perhaps the rest of 2020). This is about survival 'bro. Your landlord won't throw your roommates to the street. They will pay their rents and life will go on for the three of them. Businesses take on risks everyday. Not getting paid for a service is part of that risk and happens every second of every day.
Yep, and I think anyone who is working from home right now should consider dipping out for a few months until this tides over. If you're out of work and won't get a job in a hospital or can't find remote work, you'll be out of work until at least June, and likely, more closer to August. It doesn't matter what your profession is.
I'm making calls to people I know in other parts just in case I want to dip, though I'll continue to pay my rent so I have a place to come back to where all my stuff will presumably be safe.
Even though the governor said martial law is unlikely, every single restriction in LA and CA were announced at 5pm and enforced at midnight. That's way too much uncertainty. The way our politicians are just dropping sudden bombs like this is horrible.
When people who are normally anti-gun zealots are out looking to buy guns, especially in LA, it's not much longer before it's not safe to stay. A lot of people are out of work, everything is closed, and I don't really know how long it can go before the entire city collapses.
