United Nations promoting Universal Basic Income to fight COVID-19

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has just called for a universal basic income in 132 developing countries that it believes could help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and help the poorest families in the world stave off the catastrophic economic impacts of COVID-19.  The report notes that female sectors of the workforce have been hit most intensely by the virus, and that there are few resources in these countries for those who have lost their jobs.  100 million more people could be thrown into poverty.  Educational disruptions are rampant.  People cannot even afford the basics such as clean water.  Please consider donating to givedirectly.org or another organization distributing cash to families.  With additional cash resources, people will not have to leave the home as frequently and work in dangerous conditions of high risk for contracting and spreading COVID-19.
