i'd stop paying your biz loan and possibly your building lease and pay the employees

Such a bad idea. What about the employees of the landlord?

you would have to have a discussion with him but you need to protect your business and employees

The employees get unemployment. Landlords don't

When would that ever happen in reality?

Oh it wouldn't. I didn't say I thought it would, just that I'd be fine if it did.

I totally get the sentiment. A lot of elderly being out and about is what I see

I don't even mind them being out and about...as long as everyone can be. If there

Best to not be dramatic or use hyperbole which is most of what you wrote

Interesting. Maybe the least dramatic and hyperbole thing I've written in
