I have a friend who runs a very successful plumbing business. It is deemed essential, so they are still "open". However, with all the businesses that have been closed, nobody is calling the plumber unless it is an ABSOLUTE necessity. One toilet down? Everyone use the other more carefully. So his plumbing business is in trouble if things don't change around pretty soon. Frankly, even if they lift the business shutdown today, I think this downturn may still be worse than the last.

President Trump says we can't allow the cure to be worse than the disease. Well, the cure is already HORRIBLE.
