Robert Olori, Small Business Owner

They told us to social distance so the hospitals wouldn’t get overwhelmed. They aren’t overwhelmed and yet we are told to stay home.  They sent our kids home from school, so we kept them home, and now school will not reopen.  We had to close our art gallery that had just been open for its first 2 weeks.  Our hopes and dreams crushed as we continue in quarantine.  It took 6 weeks to get a small business loan as greedy larger businesses took the money first.  If Lowes and Walmart, and Grocery Stores and Convenience stores can be open we can too!!!  Don’t crush small business, we are more able to maintain social distance than a big box store!!!
