Well, if it helps, private and religions charities have been helping out elders
non stop with this COVID-19 crisis.

Some customers of the clinic I work for or the store I own stopped receiving
their pension altogether. One kept receiving healthcare from her insurance but
no pension, resulting in her being able to get a doctor but no food (!) Some
church sponsored programs have been keeping this people afloat.

I have also seen friends support friends who could not afford the groceries or
the rent. For sure this is the first year I have had to lend money to somebody
so he could do his grocery trip of the week (!). I don't trust human's goodwill
in the long run, but I hope charity can help us short term.
