    Thing about Covid19 in the US is many service workers will be unable to take paid time off, and are paid too little to have savings to take unpaid time off, will therefore show up to work contagious.

        Will therefore make more people act abnormally out of concern - this is why I'm most concerned about 3rd order effects.

        Might be no customers to serve anyway - the place I got lunch today near Pioneer Square said they were thinking of closing 30 min early and had been super slow all day.
