MANDATE AUTOPAY NOW!
This might not only be a good way to reduce the Coronavirus pandemic, it might be the best way.
I heard a Coronavirus expert on TV say the #1 way that the virus is spreading, is by the handling of cash money. Reduce this, and you significantly reduce the spread of the virus.
My apartment complex requires monthly rent payments in cash or money orders. Huge amounts of rents are being paid in cash dollar bills. Especially when that cash is obtained from ATMs, which typically issue $20 bills.
Govt should mandate that housing complexes all give residents the option to pay rents by electronic AUTOPAY. This will keep people off the street, out of banks, and not handling filthy (possibly Coronavirus infected) cash bills.
When I paid my rent this month, I had a choice of standing on a line 16 people long, or going to my ATM for cash. I went to the ATM and got 33 twenty dollar bills. I had to count that, as did my apartment manager, and his boss. AUTOPAY could have completed the transaction without any cash being touched by anyone's hands.
