True; rent should be suspended due to the crisis. The mechanics are tricky, and much worse, I have no hope of the actual policy leadership required to see this through here in the US. We're like an off-road vehicle with a suspension system built of cheap glass.
It will be a cascade. Rents is often backing a mortgage, so mortgages need to be suspended, mortgages backed by bonds and deposits, so interest repayments in people's retirement accounts need to be suspended and so on.
Wouldn't it mean you don't have to forego the rent in order to get tested and/or treated though?
