There is way higher number of situation where US Americans need to have 1000$ ready.

  Examples: - don't need to keep beating the dead horse about American healthcare - cars. In most European countries a car is not absolutely vital. A lot of America is "drive til you qualify", and car issues can easily be above a grand. You need a car to go even to the closest store many times, so quarantine would not really get rid of your need for a car.

    > cars. In most European countries a car is not absolutely vital you're talking about cities, in rural places, europe is not different than the US.

      The thing about rural areas, is that not many people live there. We live just ouside a mid-sized UK town (and cities down to small/mid sized towns covers a really high % of the population). Between public transport and good cycle/pedestrian routes, a car is not a major living requirement for many.
