just about everything will be impacted by the travel restrictions.

Of course the airports are contracting violently along with all the people who work there and do the services.

Hotels and their crews. Rental car agencies and flooded used car lots.

Traveling salespeople and mid-level restaurants suffering from loss of their meal revenues.

Corporate business offices. HR departments.

On a positive note, there's lots of demand for real human services - food, shelter, healthcare, clothing, caring.
Just not enough money.

Thanks, (r)epuglicons.
