I see tweets like this:

 "The coronavirus outbreak has me thinking back to when I was a server 
 and worked a week straight while I was really sick and it turns out I had 
 the swine flu and was probably spreading it to everyone because I couldn’t 
 take off work and I’m sure that will happen with this"

I'd like to somehow help out people for whom medical care is too expensive, who don't get paid sick leave, who might get fired if they don't tough it out:

"this is absolutely the culture in most kitchens, if you go home sick or 
injured you are a baby who can cut it and you let everyone down by being 
a wimp. We do it because we have to and there is a whole thing built up 
around it now."

I have no medical training, but I do have money I could spend - if I knew how to spend it well.
