All restaurants and bars also closed for the near future putting a lot of people out of work. But better that than having the health care system overwhelmed before they are ready.

This is what happened here to us, they say file for unemployment, but the online system was already down last night from so many people trying to do so. I am also assuming that with so many people signing up that it is going to take weeks or months to see any money and it's only going to be a fraction of what we had coming in. My wife's restaurant is remaining open for takeout only, so she is trying to pick up any cashiering shifts she can, but of course that is only a minimum wage job. We were prepared for this and can survive for the short run, but I do worry about them extending the closures...
