Small businesses all across the country, the world for that matter, will get crushed.
Your favorite restaurant from two weeks ago will be gone in two months.
This will shake our economy worse than 9/11 and perhaps worse than 1929.
Some restaurants could mitigate this by doing take-out/delivery service. The waitstaff can remain employed by transitioning to delivery people. Eventually, people are going to get sick of eating canned beans at home.

I’ve been thinking that about three or four weeks now. We could be in for a SERIOUS and long depression. It was a nice two-year retirement while it lasted.
