My clients are struggling with a lot of the same issues I am right now. Except in some ways their sense of helplessness is worse. I keep hearing again and again: "I can't even donate blood."[1] One said to me, "I'd go [in the army] in a minute. I've got this virus - I'm expendable. But they wouldn't take me." And most of them don't even have any extra money they could donate. It's hard.
