Which is why the federal government passed a never-before-seen stimulus package that included forgivable small business loans and expanded unemployment income.

There is no equivalent safety net for people who are victims of positional asphyxia.

I know several small businesses that are closed forever despite that bill. Many reasons why, I’m sure; however, the most cited one I’ve heard is that the monies had too many strings tied to uncertain outcomes whereby the business owner could end up still out there f business but also with debt that they wont be able to service.
