Also, service and hospitality staff are the first to go. There are about 23mil ppl in a variety of categories under that umbrella. I’d be shocked if 95%+ of them are not unemployed by end of April. That’s 23m with zero consumer confidence and desire to spend. Think about the impact that will have on the economy. And we are talking only the most impacted population. There are millions others. Consulting firm staff levels won’t be what they are today at the end of 2020 - just one example.
