Lack of Work
You're job is essential, so you have to work.
With that going on, that means there's a lack of work for a lot of people. Some may be able to enjoy it because they were already well off. For those who aren't, it has become a struggle. Little to no work means getting by will be difficult if possible at all.
There are those who have been working from home since before the outbreak. They seem to have adjusted well. For those who haven't done this before, it could feel as though they're being forced into it. Especially since they have few to no options left.
I feel that this could be looked at in two different ways. One way this could be seen as is a huge experiment that could end horribly for the majority. Another way to look at it is as a way to prepare people for what's about to come: Martial Law and/or a purge. There's already a biological warfare going on in various parts of the world. Why not ad fuel to the fire?
With the outbreak, there are some places that are forcing the majority of their population, if not everyone, stay home. In certain areas like where I live, unless your job is essential or you need to buy something you need, it's been recommended that you quarantine yourself. There are other areas that are on complete lock down. Not a single person allowed to step foot outside their homes. Not unless your law enforcement and possibly medical staff.
It's also gotten to the point where if law enforcement sees someone out in public after they've been ordered to quarantine themselves, they'll be sent to jail. I feel that's another way to make people afraid. Using fear to make people lock themselves inside. Using fear to control the masses. With a majority of people being robots or brainwashed/programmed, it's been simple to do so far.
