I am so afraid: Coronavirus isolation brings grave new hardships for the world’s poor

Editor Washington Post March 27, 2020

HONG KONG — For some, sheltering in place and social distancing mean home workouts in front of large-screen smart televisions, cooking up a storm with groceries ordered online and more time in their backyards.

Elsewhere, it means confining a family of four in a 110-square-foot space while children struggle with e-learning on a poor Internet connection. It means a devastating loss of income for families who now forage through trash, and crippling loneliness for those already on society’s fringes.

Barriers have risen around the world as governments sacrifice their economies and free mobility to stave off a pandemic that has already killed 24,000 people. But as these measures disproportionately affect the poor, doing one’s part to fight the coronavirus can mean dramatically different adjustments. Some are struggling to afford their next meal.
