Dealing with coronavirus when you don’t have paid sick days or a place to self-isolate

There are some 40 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Los Angeles, and officials are hoping to keep the risk of exposure low. That means they want people with a fever and cough to stay home. But what about people who don’t get paid sick days, or they don’t have a place to isolate themselves? KCRW’s Jerome Campbell explored the quandary for many Angelenous who can’t afford to follow the rules.
