The San Francisco Bay Area shelter-in-place order is being extended through May
I&#x27;m lucky enough to have remote work. And I&#x27;m sure many HNers have a nice buffer of savings from their tech jobs to weather the storm or are getting paid time off.<p>But can anyone share what it&#x27;s like to not be in either of these situations? How are your rent lords handling things?<p>I live abroad in a cheap country so I can handle zero income, but I wouldn&#x27;t be able to last long if rent was $2000+&#x2F;mo instead of the &lt;$200&#x2F;mo I currently pay.<p>Yet when I read Redditors talk about quarantine, you&#x27;d think everyone in the world was getting paid time off to play Animal Crossing at home or they live at mom&#x27;s house rent-free. And it seems like it&#x27;s this crowd that&#x27;s likely to be pushing for staying in lockdown with no end in sight.
