That's what U.S. officials have done with their shutdown of businesses and industries across America. Faced with the massive adverse consequences of their dysfunctional centrally planned healthcare system, U.S. officials have resorted to the same sorts of measures their counterparts in communist China have resorted to, including massive violations of civil liberties and mandatory shutdown of people's livelihoods.

One of the big consequences of all this dysfunctionality is that 22 million Americans have filed for unemployment compensation, with almost 6 million being added onto the list in the last week alone.

According to the Washington Post, "The United States has not seen this level of jobs since the Great Depression."

Needless to say, millions of Americans are struggling to survive this mayhem. Amanda Fleming and her husband own a tree-cutting business in Virginia. Since they are self-employed, they don't qualify for unemployment compensation, at least not yet. Some of their contract workers have called them asking for financial assistance, but the Flemings are not in a position to help. They just borrowed money from family members to buy groceries.
