The asian run nail salon next to my local grocery store is open. Corporate franchise barber shop next door still closed and no sign of a reopening date.

Maybe they're trying to get sanitizing supplies and masks. It was maybe a week ago that the CEO of Kroger thanked the Secretary of Agriculture for helping him get PPE for his workers.
They may have staffing or cash flow issues too.

I think that's a good sign. People are probably going online for non-essentials but it's good they're not doing as much shopping as they normally would so there's some hope for pend up demand.
What's going to drag is NY & CA in particular. CA needs a plan to reopen. NY released one and CA never reached NY levels. The worst of this so far has definitely been regional.

Experts are people who are good at acting extremely pompous while being extremely wrong.

Thanks, I figured someone besides me must have noticed that. It is a great example of ignorance in writing.

“It’s all BS.”
Worse by far, it gives BS a bad name.
