Businesses will need to put in place new safety measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. That will change how companies, employees, customers and the government interact with one another. And it will cost the private sector — and the customers they serve — a pretty penny.

Companies will have to invest heavily in safety measures and new protocols, in many cases changing the way they operate. That will leave less money to invest in growth and paying down debts, according to a new report from ratings agency Moody's.

For retailers, the pandemic has accelerated America's shift to e-commerce. Online shopping boomed during the spring lockdown and consumers concerned about safety will probably continue their habit even as shops reopen. This means companies will have to update sales approaches, supply chains and operating strategies.

All this means spending more money that will weigh on profits and balance sheets. Many of those costs will be passed along to the customer.

EBay's booming this year. Seems prices for almost anything on. Ebay are up. As a Canadian if your strapped for cash selling small cheap items on EBay maybe more profitable atm. The lighter the better for cheaper shipping.

“Creating” The past 5 1/2yrs have been a quagmire. All major industries decimated, investment fled, business fleeing or folding & not a single revenue generating project off the ground in that time. That was before covid. Go libs! Guess we’re so far “forward” we’re at the back

Businesses can much more easily organize and shove the government. No business - no taxes.

The left uses race sexuality poverty crime and abuse as a card for political gain, but when it comes to actually helping people they do nothing. Its just used an exploited to there gain covid is no different.

Thats because of wasteful spending inefficiency un effect and using the pandemic as an excuse or card to gain political gain. Rather than helping people.
