It's pretty sad that this is glossed over so much. Plenty of business have folded already, let people go, broke their leases, liquidated what can be liquidated, and whoever held ownership got their portion of the remaining pie.

To bring these pieces back together, the lease, the workers, the investors, the money, is impossible. Some of these pieces are no longer in existence, and the economic conditions that enabled the company to form in the first place are no longer present. It's like trying to make a living tree from ash and smoke.

Some places have been hit particularly hard. In LA county, only 45% of people have jobs right now: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-17/usc-coro...

"45% compared with 61% in mid-March"

"a significant majority of job losses, 67% nationally, were reported as temporary layoffs"
