That's a black eyes on the us government and the American society as a whole, but I think you missed the point
@Hood Critic made. They should be getting help. The government NEEDS to give these businesses help and they fell asleep at the wheel.
They can do it. Just look at the speed in which they bailed out big companies.
You can go ahead and open back businesses, but there is still no normalcy, and no guarantee that money is going to roll in or people are going to support these businesses when they reopen.
So ultimately the government is giving small business owners a horrible choice. Die from lack of resources or take your chances and die from the virus and take others with you.
