A small business owner explains how lockdowns are catastrophic for him. John Romano writes:
Our No. 1 product is a day trip from Paris to visit the landing beaches in Normandy. It is a destination every American should see if he or she visits France. We are very proud to have helped so many people visit this hallowed ground.
Now, here we are, 10 months into COVID. Our revenue is down more than 99 percent. We’ve had a total of two clients since March — a father and daughter who were receiving medical treatment in Paris. They, and others like them, are among the very few Americans allowed abroad.
We’re still standing, but how much longer can we? How much longer can any disrupted small business last? We are hurting in my industry and many others.
