As the coronavirus pandemic progresses, the buildings in New York and Miami and in so many other offices around the world are emptying more and more of people who, by taking refuge from quarantine, choose to work from their homes … But that is a privilege that not everyone can afford: many continue to work despite facing a virulent outbreak that may cost them their lives.
In an article published today by The Wall Street Journal, Laureen Weber interviewed Elsa Romero, one of those people who cannot afford to take refuge in her home until the threat of Covid-19 passes.
Mrs. Romero lives in the northwest of Miami and has to take two buses every day to get to the places she cleans, two hours to go, two hours to return. The Honduran has spent twenty years dedicated body and soul to cleaning houses and offices. "It gives me a little anxiety when I go on the bus," she confesses before the councils that in the face of the pandemic advise against going out.
Despite being diabetic, she cleans two floors of the Miami Tower and earns around $ 800 a month to cover her basic needs, including her health insurance.
"I can't stay home because if I don't work, I don't get paid." You also have no right to take paid sick days. "I don't have a plan B," he said. “I cannot apply for any other job because everything is closed. It would be terrible.”
This is just one example of the difficult situation facing millions of people in the United States at this difficult time for the economy, in which uncertainty reigns due to the coronavirus.
