We could lose 20% of small businesses.

Estimated it will be 10-11% soon. Millions will be out of work.

Time to lift this quarantine BS now.

11 percent of US restaurants may close for good amid coronavirus pandemic; Trump says it's possible

“Look, what we’re doing in terms of loans, what we’re doing in terms of salaries, they’ll all come back," said PresidentTrump. "It may not be the same restaurant, it may not be the same ownership, but they’ll all be back."

How will the economy suffer if Covid-19 swamps US medical infrastructure?

Two months now or 4-5 months next Fall?

I suggest that you go first...

Who said I started to hide?

Then keep it up. Don't socially distance, hit the beach and party and stop complaining douche.

Unfortunately I lack the ability to stop the destruction of Western Civilization that is occurring.

For which we have public education to credit.

I wouldn't doubt that for one second. It's about the toughest business there is to survive in. Even in the best of times it has a high failure rate. It takes a real masochist to even want to open a restaurant and the bar business seems to run a close second. And the gubberment just loves screwing with both and making lives miserable for the operators.

Unfortunately, a lot of people will not go to restaurants for the foreseeable future. Expect a lot more business failures

I'm pretty sure more than a few wished they were unemployed ...

 

[Weatherman2020]

Destruction of Western Civilization? If this nation can't make it thru a short period of self quarantine then something is wrong. Really wrong. Send round 1 of stimulus and round 2 if necessary.

Shutting down the entire economy of the world and hundreds of millions with no income.
Great Depression soup lines are going to appear as a luxury.

Not true. Almost every American knew honor and duty then.

More than 20% of World War II servicemen were drafted. So, more than a few didn't consider it an honor.

Its not Darwin who is killing small business but governors and mayors in deep blue cities and states

Actually, business was way down at these places even before they instituted the closings. Some companies like Starbucks instituted closings before Gov. Pritzker and others ordered them.

So again, we are having a Darwinian event, failed companies are being eliminated and the worthy companies are surviving. This is the argument you guys make whenever we talk about spotted owls or snail darters.

Those measures were put into place because there was hoarding.

There was also an active black market at the time. WWII was the best thing that ever happened to Organized Crime, because after the beating it took in the 1930's when prohibition ended, it got a whole new lease on the black market and the government turning a blind eye to its activities.

Nice try but it does not wash

mayors and county commissioners in democrat controlled districts are issuing the orders to close businesses

yes, they are acting on the information given them by health professionals from international down to the local hospital

but the elected officials at state and local area have the final decision

Good ,we do not need anymore used tire shops or taco stands

Let's hope this guy is wrong.

Coronavirus 'good scenario' could be 20% of small businesses fail

Karen Mills, the former administrator of the Small Business Administration, welcomed the stimulus, but expressed concern on whether the money could arrive fast enough to make a difference.

If anything, 20% might be low. This could ruin something close to every independent restaurant in the country. My neighbor is going to lose his business, probably his house, and his life savings...he has about $30,000 worth of bills due and no idea how to pay any of them since his single biggest moneymaker (March Madness) was cancelled, and now he's been shut down for weeks. He's now on the hook for 2,000+ cases of beer he can't sell.
