I know of four small businesses in rural areas that may never reopen. How can you ever compensate people for taking away their livelihood? And since many small business owners have to pledge their houses for start up loans, they may end up losing their homes as well. Losses in jobs, income and homes will never be adequately compensated for by any government action. As I look at worldwide deaths and their reported causes, I think the economic shutdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus was excessive and will cause a disproportionate amount of economic misery.
What type of businesses, if you don’t mind my asking?
