As long as the economy doesn't completely collapse, I think we can rely on the
goodwill of others. There are plenty folk out there volunteering their time
and/or money to help those in need. I don't think WE, as a collective people,
are less benevolant than the government. I think that with the projected second
wave of COVID-19, etc... things are going to get really tough for those who are
particularly vulnerable so those who care will have to step up and do even more
to assist those in need. Governments are taking an absolute beating with their
diminished tax-revenue that support from them will be limited.
