So now a restaurant owner should also be a infectious disease expert?

I own a business. Bought it 3 years ago. When I did, I had to buy new business insurance. Costs me about 60K per year. When I did, I literally bought every single coverage they offered, except for one. It was “national catastrophe” coverage. As my agent explained to me, that $200 premium was a waste because it would require a situation literally unprecedented in US history.

Needless to say, I am looking into litigation options.

frick you and your “should have known”.

This is stupid.

The reason to send help to small businesses, if you are going to do it, is because if you don't you'll have tons of people who lose their jobs.

Small business employs tons of people in this country. Small businesses aren't going to be able to float several months of payroll without revenue.

This isn't about fairness or who deserves it. It's about making the most positive impact with any money that is spent.

There was some way to anticipate a total unprecedented overreaction to a viral infection that is both less contagious and less deadly than many others we've had before?
