*** I don’t recall businesses being closed by government order around here.***
Not sure where you live, but during lockdowns, any business that wasn’t *essential* was closed down here. State government closed them down, not federal. It was awful!

I was mistaken; I went back and checked and there was a interval (not long) when “non-essential” businesses were ordered closed by the governor. But everywhere I go (and I’m out every day and was then) stayed open presumably because of food sales, pharmacy, etc. It is true that dining rooms in restaurants were closed.

I remember more now. Home Depot, Lowe's, and Ace Hardware remained open; presumably because of essential plumbing parts, etc. Some of the mall stores were open and others were closed. I believe that some clothing stores stayed open (that was a little odd). Dentists were closed, I think more because of fear of covid than anything else . I guess people with dental pain went to the hospital and hoped for the best. Purely leisure or recreational businesses like gyms were closed, but that didn't affect me.

SOME complete idiot making decisions about essential businesses at the beginning shut down the production of gallon/ half gallon milk jugs.
Dairy farmers were dumping milk-—no containers.
2 dairy farms—4 generations—sold 630 dairy cows in one day at local livestock sale.
Put them totally out of business.
Vet on hand at sale cried.
