If you’ve been extra-anxious lately, you’re not alone: Online searches for “panic attack” hit an all-time high as the coronavirus spread, sickening loved ones, disrupting the economy, ending jobs and upending normal life. This week we aim to help with a guide to the new extra unemployment payments, a list of health insurance options available to people who have lost jobs, and more. Please let me know if you have specific questions we can help answer! My email is janie.campbell@huffpost.com.
