There is a balance that needs to be found between effective social distancing to curtail this virus as fast as possible while still supporting these businesses in any way we can so they can stay open at a limited capacity. These businesses have lots of employees that will simply be laid off and be scrambling to find ways to meet ends meet.
My comment was for those of us who will keep our jobs, who still need to get food, coffee, and the occasional beer. Most of these sorts of places are still open for delivery and takeout. Instead of going to Starbucks drive-thru, make use of Corner Coffee's take out. If you're going to buy some beer, maybe go buy a growler from Modist brewing instead of a 12-pack of bud-light. If you aren't in the mood to cook, instead of ordering from a national chain order takeout from a local restaurant.
That is all, stay safe, take all necessary precautions, work from home, etc, all I'm saying is if there were ever a time to go out of your way to choose small businesses over large corporations this would be it.
