True. The schools and theme parks and sports and entertainment venues should have been closed at least a week ago, and ideally longer.
I hope the weddings will end up being postponed, and that she’ll bounce back. But a 2-month hit on a small business’s cash flow is definitely something to worry about. In my own life, there’s now a good chance that a close relative’s business is going to go under because of COVID-19 after he’s spent nearly 20 years keeping it afloat, and another relative told me that clients are backing out of deals that so far amount to 1/5 of his annual income.
The sense I get is that adults in the room, such as they are, told him that he either lets experts like Fauci talk without contradicting them or they’re going to quit en masse. They’re also probably pulling some sort of reverse psychology working with his narcissistic behaviours to make him think that the experts are following his lead. But that only gets them so far as things get more stressful. So, yeah, the clock is ticking.
