I am not sure what is going on in your area, but here in Minnesota, they are closing things down left and right.
My better half is a school teacher and will be off for the next two weeks, my neighbour was laid off yesterday until the virus passes, she works for a company that deals with the airlines, another neighbour is a bartender and they are starting to close bars and restaurants except for drive-thru... and me, self employed in new business in an over populated field has already been slow. With the all the closures, I do not see it picking up anytime soon. There are a lot of people that will be hit hard with this financially.
Even some of the posts here are showing concern with sales being down so it seems adult is getting hit as well. With so many limitations and closures, people will be spending less on porn to take care of their families.
Our management company for the building is stopping all maintenance and closing their office to in person visits.... I asked them if they had anything in place for those that would be affected by this crisis as far as being late with rent, maybe waiving late fees... they had no answer. But they have no issues raising our rent an additional 45.00 a month.
Sure, we can stock up on toilet paper and food for a 2 week quarantine but the bills do keep coming in.
No matter how you look at it... a lot will be without any income for at least 2 weeks. Are you prepared for this? I do have to admit, I wasn't. With all the delay we had even getting to this point, I really did not think that we would go this far. Americans love their money too much, I never thought that our capitalistic system would allow for such things. This will affect everyone, large and small.
How prepared are you?
I wish everyone the best through these times and hope that all will be well for everyone.
