Besides ordering takeout, what can we do to help our local small businesses? What about the wait staff? I don't know how much it helps to advance revenue and forfeit it later but should every mom & pop shop be selling gift cards right now?

One of my friends is directly impacted, rather than the company risk paid time, they laid him off at the outset. he hasn't had work in a week. what about his demographic?

I just spoke to the manager of a restaurant who told me they laid off the entire wait staff. I guess they can all apply for unemployment now, which is better than having a job with 0 hours on the schedule? Doubt that is going to cover living expenses. Impact of this will be huge.
Since Nick was employed with them for less than 6 months that does not apply unfortunately he falls through the cracks. This social safety net is full of holes
