Loans won’t help. All that will help is reopening the economy completely.

About half of the businesses surveyed had seen a decline of over 25 percent in sales since the pandemic began, and about a fifth have seen sales drop by over 50 percent.

Uhhhhh....what about the ones that are completely closed. Maybe not for good but, by edict.

Haven’t their sales dropped by 100%???

Most small businesses fail in a couple of years. This is speeding that up.

That’s a pretty low number, we are actually looking at 50%-75% of the businesses affected by the lockdown and peaceful protests will close permanently, If somebody doesn’t stop ANTIFA and BLM soon, the number will likely be greater than 75%.

This will be the first year without Christmas. That will close 40% of retail businesses.

the loans in my impression would bridge a 2 month temporary gap in revenues that would be backfilled by the then-projected resumption of normal business to allow repayment. is this a fair view? did i miss something?

The “pandemic” ain’t causing it - it’s all the knee-jerk overreactions that are causing the damage...
