1. I feel for all of the people this will impact.

All of the ticket takers, tech and back stage workers. They make very little and a month without pay could put them in desperate straights. We are going to see even more people homeless after this is over. So many Americans are just a paycheck away from being on the street.

4. It is required but it will have a cascading impact on many people

Not just within the theater community but all the bars and restaurants too.

5. Of course, the people who work the hardest will pay the biggest price I'm afraid.

2. Initially, it was for the larger venues - now, they're shutting it all down
