The chain reaction hasn't begun yet

But it's coming and it's going to be ugly

One of my favorite local liquor/wine/beer and cigar stores just folded over the weekend, not sure if it was all due to COVID19 but I'm thinking it played a part.

Concerts, festivals, sporting events, schools, business conferences

And of course all of this has a major direct impact on hotels, the airline industry

We have the oil and gas industry brought to its knees with an even bigger stab to the heart with the Russians and Saudis flooding the market

If you own commercial property prepare for tenants not be able to pay your rent.

This goes way way way beyond just restaurants and bars. There isn't a single sector in the economy other than government and healthcare that won't feel this sting.
