I don’t believe that.
We started a shutdown quite early, but it was VERY aggressive. Everything was shutdown, except grocery stores and small shops. Everything else was closed.
Even informal shops.
Now we are opening up again, and things are sort of going nuts. I think once things start improving, you will be surprized.
Here in “locked down” CT, most blue collar outdoor trades are still working.
Most white collar jobs are being done at home.
There are certain industries (we all know what they are) that are being crushed, and they rely on crowded venues or large crowds to survive.
The impacts are _very_ uneven and _very_ complex.
I love how people who have never owned a small business think it will be as easy as pushing the on button.
