A couple restaurants downstream that I really like tried the take out but never made enough to continue and are now shutting down for the month long ban.
Most local businesses only have a couple weeks of cash on hand to survive. I hope they are able to reopen eventually.
We have been donating to a couple of our favorite charities to help them through this time. I can imagine many of their normal donors have lost jobs and no longer can give.

here on the western slope.....a SMALL community,Montrose. Not as small as the mountain,but
still struggling...small business hit hard. My service people Massage Therapist (for my arthritic
back) my trainer, my hair stylist ALL shut down....Hwy 550 (main street thru town) is NOT
AS CRAZY because they shut down TELLURIDE ....people are staying home for the most part.
So we are donating the $$$ we would get (from rescue pkg) NOW....to our vet's office,to our
local brewery,to others who we know need it.....we are lucky,and we know it.
Some people are arranging private visits for haircare and other treatments. My brother had to shut down his chain of acupuncture clinics, but his "talent" have been doing "at home" treatments.
I am seeing some cosmeticians decide the money isn't worth it. They don't want to risk CV by going into a home they don't know for haircuts and pedicures, and they also don't want to risk their families by having unknown people come into their homes.
