Well the economy already took a dump. How many businesses that were forced to close will even reopen? If restaurants can open at only 25% or 50% capacity, how long can they manage that? They're leases or mortgage payments aren't going to be cut to 25% or 50%. Property taxes, insurance and other fixed costs won't be cut. Even if they do open all the way, how many people will feel safe going there?
I think the virus is real, but I worry more about what this country will look like going forward. Our county has a very low infection rate so I'm not worried about catching it. Other parts of MI are a lot different. Brighton usually has a high volume of traffic downtown, lot's of restaurants and small businesses. Drive there now and it looks like a ghost town. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
