Is it true that there's no help from the government? Because if that's the case, then that's just a terrible move by the government. Here in the Philippines, people are not allowed to go out from their houses unless they have a quarantine pass (a card which is distributed per household). This allows a family representative to go out to buy foods and supplies. We also receive some helps from the government (rice, canned goods, condiments, etc.). I can't imagine a life in a quarantine without any help from the government.
Another thing I would like to correct is the phrase "social distancing". It should be "physical distancing" or "physical isolation".
