[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like they can open up stores, etc. while the majority of people work from home. I work for a massive company that has one (or more) offices in every state and I would wager that 90% of us can easily work from home, the other 10% can  limit their time in the office or easily social distance while there due to the fact that many others can WFH.[/quote]

Go ahead and open the stores and restaurants but they will still suffer. It's going to be a while before traffic is more than 25% of normal. [/quote]

This may be a dumb question as I have no experience running a store or restaurant, but wouldn't bringing in some income be better than none? And even if they're not able to re-hire everyone, some people would be employed?[/quote]

Potentially. But most businesses will fold with such anemic revenue. [/quote]

This. It costs money to keep a store open. They are spending money to be open (utilities, salaries) when no one is shopping. So more money going out than coming in.

Restaurants are designed on an economic model of numbers of seats in the house x turnover during open hours. If you have to have fewer seats for distancing, and less turnover because people are afraid to go out, you break the model.[/quote]
