One of the more worrying things to me is how this pandemic (and/or our response to it) will disproportionately affect small businesses and individuals. As Amazon hires 100k workers how many jobs are being lost by small businesses failing?

Marginal businesses of any size are going to fail, and the less marginal will become marginal.

Larger businesses have a proportionately larger need for money to sustain themselves. Big business doesn't mean rich business. Look what's happening to the airlines.

The building I live in has a sitting space on the roof I’ve been working from while waiting for the internet to get installed in my apartment (I didn’t think I’d need it so I waited and now I’m regretting it.) One of the other people teleworking from up there is an accountant(?) for a major airline who has been for the past couple days trying to figure out how to keep it from going under. It’s kind of sad hearing all the phone calls he’s making sorting things out like older pilots trying to retire and so on.
