Businesses: Summer is a make-or-break period for many small businesses in tourist-reliant areas. Summer vacations are as vital to the hospitality industry as Black Friday is to retail.
“I think in the next 30 to 60 days, we’re going to see a lot of small businesses fail and it’s going to be tough,” Sofia Dickens, founder of EQtainment, told Axios’ Mike Allen last week.
Families: The strain on families on all levels will have a cumulative effect. Summer months are often times to take a breather, slow down, and get out of town. That won’t happen this year for most.
Many people won’t be able to leave home, or may not feel comfortable doing so even when stay-at-home orders lift. And many parents will also feel pressure to keep kids engaged in brain-enhancing activities to reduce summer slide.
