Month: April 2020

Talk of reopening the economy provides a glimmer of hope for these small businesses and laid-off employees trying to keep their heads above water amid COVID-19 restrictions and closures – but nobody knows exactly what that reopening will look like or how to plan for it. Meanwhile, another round of monthly bills is coming due, and the promise of government relief is still no more than a promise. But life goes on, as a birthday takes on new meaning in times of hardship, and separation from family becomes harder to bear. 

Anxiety is setting in for Orlando’s food and wine professionals, as they realize the smallest of America’s small businesses seem to be at the back of the line for government rescue funds. Despite the struggle to stay positive and solvent as the crisis drags on and the days run together, they’re conflicted about reopening the economy. Meanwhile, a sick parent considers going back to work, and a child steps into adulthood in the midst of the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is deep into its second month, and help is slow to arrive for businesses and employees affected by the economic fallout. Personal finances are feeling the pinch, prompting some who work in Orlando’s hard-hit food and wine industry to re-evaluate their long-term plans … and even their hair color! Meanwhile, concerns continue about a sick parent, a vulnerable kid, and a beloved pet.

Bills are coming due just as a statewide stay-at-home order takes effect.
