There’s also the situations where the pandemic makes already mad situations even worse.

My parents run a cafe/restaurant in rural Australia that was already not doing too great, and they were looking to sell. Now, they’re truly fucked.

I'm sure Australia will be locked down soon. Maybe they can switch to a take-out model. Rural areas also need more grocery stores. Maybe sell bulk dry/canned goods since they already stock that.
