Reported on April 27. The US "Washington Post" website published an article on April 24 entitled "I am in a Article 22 military-style dilemma"-American small businesses' contradictory attitudes toward resuming work. The article said that for some Americans, especially the managers of small businesses, there is such a contradictory mentality-the fear of the new crown epidemic coexists with the expectation of resuming work. The article is compiled as follows:
Ramses Long embodies the contradictory mentality under the epidemic: a strong desire to resume work coexists with the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. A few weeks after he opened in Atlanta's "Leigh Days" gym in January, he encountered a stop order in Georgia.
On the 24th local time, the state allows gyms, barber shops and other businesses to resume work. But Lang decided to wait and see.
Lang, 47, said: "I am in a military-style dilemma of Article 22 ... I am eager to start work. However, I don't think it is a good idea to take luck on medical issues."
The debate about when and how to restart the US economy is full of political quarrels at the national and state levels, and uncertainty about what to do to ensure public safety during the epidemic. For small business owners, this may come down to life-and-death decisions that affect their businesses, employees, and customers.
The things at hand are clear: how to rearrange restaurant seats to maintain social distance, and where to buy non-contact infrared thermometers. While struggling to get financial assistance to make up for each day, many shopkeepers are thinking deeply about the daunting question: Is my business model viable with half the traffic, will customers come back?
