A person that wants to stay at home in quarantine due to COVID-19 but can't due to the fact they cannot telecommute and there are no legal protections in place for the employee. So, she/he has to make a choice between (A) working for money with the increased risk of exposure, (B) staying at home and burning PTO until it runs out, or (C) leaving the company and having no income. Those living paycheck to paycheck (for whatever reason that may be is inconsequential at this point), wind up putting themselves and their family at greater risk because they have to keep a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, and food on the table.
John wanted to stay at home during the COVID-19 quarantine across America, but he was told he was an essential employee and could lose his job if he didn't show up for work. Having no savings, John swallowed his pride, went to work, got infected with COVID-19 by a fellow employee in the same situation, and died.

May 26 Word of the Day
"Bi wife energy" is a term that was coined through a song by the user @/cringelizard on Tik Tok to describe the energy that Misha Collins radiates, explaining it with the fact that he is married to a bisexual woman, Victoria Vantoch. The full song can be found on all music streaming services and YouTube.

People with bi wife energy are fiercely supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, their love for their spouse, if they have one, is strong and people sometimes assume they are queer.

In their first video about this, @/cringelizard referred to Misha as a "hetero guy", but amended in a later added verse that the actor does not like labels.

The term "bi wife energy" can be used for people of all genders, regardless of relationship status, although "bi husband energy" has also been used in several videos across Tik Tok.

Lyric excerpt:

(Verse 2)
Now sometimes people assume I'm queer
And I have to say, hey! just a straight guy here
But I get it a lot, and I don't mean to be cruel
It's just that my wife is a bisexual

(Chorus)
Bi wife energy
He has bi wife energy
BI wife energy (yeah)
He has bi wife energy
"You know Misha Collins?" "You're talking about that actor, right? The one that radiates bi wife energy?"

"Amy Santiago has so much bi wife (bi husband) energy!"
