If people are too afraid to go to work, society as we have come to
know and hate it will cease to exist in short order. Machines will
seize up, run out of fuel, produce won't be delivered to market,
people will run out of things and there will be nowhere to get them.
And when the fuel supply runs out, no way to get them.

I have this -large- heavy duty cabinet I'm filling up with survival
rations. Just because I don't list my stuff doesn't mean I've turned
a blind eye to things.
