My uncle owns a small business with a few employees, its a small convenience store that he opened within the last year covid 19 has caused him to lose many of his workers and have to almost shut down his business. The Pandemic has caused millions of other businesses to have to lose workers or go bankrupt, COVID19 is a serious issue that needs to be treated as such or we will lose close to half of our workforce.
