No one is emerging. Everyone has rules in place that kills business.
Worse in the blue states.
That’s not so.
Connecticut is the last to open as stage 1. Several other states are moving into stage 2, each stage lasts 2 weeks. Despite what the Governors say the people are coming out & many sheriffs etc are refusing to enforce the Gov’s wacky rules.
Encouraging Example:
Louisiana
LA Governor John Bel Edwards stay-at-home order expired on May 15.
What is open?
Places of worship
Restaurants, coffee shops, and cafes
Movie theaters
Zoos and aquariums
Gyms and fitness centers
Hair salon
Nail salons
Retail stores with exterior exits
Bars and breweries with a Louisiana Department of Health food permit
Casinos
No one is emerging.
Yep. This is classic horse vs. water problem. You can reopen businesses but you cannot force customers to resume their 2019 shopping habits. Most businesses do not have the kind of margin that allows them to stay open with a fraction of their usual customer base, so many businesses will fail even after the shutdowns are lifted.
