Are you laid off due Covid-19 or an Essekntial business? / myLot

While some are working and there are shortages of medical help, 3.2 Million laid off due to the shut down and hot spots in USA such as New York, Washington and Louisiana State are some of the main ones right now who may remain shut down for two or more weeks. Depending on when things start to cool down. Are you laid off, how is affecting you? Do you know anyone who has had or has now the covid-19 virus. Do you feel President Trump should open up states and locations not greatly affected by this virus? Why or why not?

Not laid off since I own the business and I haven't laid off anybody. I don't know anybody personally who has been tested positive and I hope that none of my friends and family will ever be.
