Just yesterday a supermarket in my city closed down permanently due to lack of customers caused by this pandemic. My country has gotten hit pretty hard by corona with more than 80,000 cases. Now, about 100 employees of said supermarket have lost their job and starting to panic and depressed. One of them is my neighbor. I wonder what can I do to help him? Maybe suggesting to him to search for a work online?
Sorry for the sad news, I just want to share this and somehow get it off my chest.

If they got specific skill you may ask them to do a freelance work. There is a lot of platform or website that allow you to do a freelance work, upwork is one of them. If not, then you may try to tell them finding a new job by online platform. Well for some other company maybe closed due to covid-19. But others also gaining profit from this pandemy, find this company.

I think this is the same everywhere. Hopefully the government can give some money to people so that they can survive from this hard time. In fact I already change some of my habits. Such as I will try to consume wisely and won't buy something that are not necessary.

Same happens everywhere. I lend some of my life savings to my relatives since they've lost their job too.
