Answers:
1. What was the reasoning behind 20-year-old woman’s employers laying her off?
They decided that she would be better off filing for unemployment benefits, and then they would hire her back again after the coronavirus situation has improved.
2. For Max Rees (or possibly Reece/Reese/Rhys) what is the main financial worry?
He has no health insurance now.
3. How has the restaurant owner attempted to continue her business?
She has been trying to find a way to bring not too many people to her restaurant at the same time, and also to lay off her front-of-house staff, by turning to take-out.
4. Besides takeout, what is another way patrons can support their local restaurants?
They can buy gift coupons, which will give cash to the restaurant immediately, and can be used once the coronavirus has passed.
