One of the biggest economic challenges surfacing during the novel coronavirus pandemic is the fact that a lot of local businesses have either shut down completely or are operating with severely reduced revenue. The longer the social distancing and operating restrictions last, the tougher it will be for those businesses to fully reopen and keep or rehire their staff.
At some point, the economy will reopen as the viral outbreak subsides. When exactly that will happen is still open for debate, but as the still-huge unemployment claims show, companies without deep pockets or outside of essential industries are in a world of hurt right now.
