Yeah, the idea that all of these businesses shutting down has little consequence to the public (regardless of whether they open again) is incredibly tone deaf, with somewhere around 15% of the US population impacted by these closures. Worse, this population likely overlaps with the most at-risk when it comes to both health and financial standing.

HN is not US-only.
In Europe, losing your job does not mean losing your health nor your finances.

Sure, but we're discussing a shutdown in the Bay Area, so the American reality is the proper context.

It does if you're freelance, which a lot of the events industry is. Or if you work for a small business that folds as soon as it has no business.
