They simply close down and never show up in bankruptcy tallies. More than half of owners are worried their firm won’t survive

all you have to do is subtract 75% of restaurant workers, no mass entertainment and sporting events work, no wedding industry, no party industry, lots of office janitorial work curtailed, and tons of other things I can't think of, those things not starting to revive until fall 2021. A miraculous vaccine coming out by late 2020 does not mean everyone gets it right away, it means summer 2021 if we are miraculously lucky
I used to think: well worse comes to worse, I can always get work as a waitress, I am good at it. Not any more. The mind boggles at the ramifications.
This is one main reason protesting about something else besides where income is going to come from has really irritated me. Now is not the time to prioritize what they were prioritizing, it strikes me as illogical hysteria clear and simple. (And boredom for some of the kiddies as I have noted.)

something on the teevee just reminded me I forgot about the entire travel & hospitality industry, it's like they are so far gone we have forgotten about them. Everything from hotel maids to luggage handlers to air stewards to train & subway maintenance @ like 25% employment of the past until a vaccine.
One winner: carmakers, car sales are up. So anything to do with travel by car will help with some jobs. Parking attendants if it's somewhere people want to car.
They are talking on NY1 on how 25,000 hotel rooms will never come back. Guy says partly due to overbuilding before coronavirus, 60% of recently built hotels in Brooklyn are now homeless shelters, they never had the customers to begin with.

medical providers, believe it or not:
Not just hospitals for elective work. Also think physical therapists, massage therapists, dermatology clinics, dentists and dental hygienists, optometrists, annual checkups.... Things I myself have put off because of the risk, so have so many others.
