My youngest son joined us for dinner tonight.  He said he has to go in to work tomorrow until 12 noon.  The company is shutting sown after that and everyone is being laid off.

He does heating, plumbing and air conditioning.  So, I guess if you have heating and cooling problems, you're on your own.

This is a scary situation. Experts are now talking months of social distancing. The serivce industry layoffs just starting to take place will ripple through the rest of the economy quickly. My husband's place of employemnt just laid off 90% of their workers as they had to close most locations. A few managers are kept on. My husband accepted a 65% pay cut, as there are no other options out there. Our economy is based on consumer sales and this is quickly going to put us into a depression. Everyone try to stay healthy.

Shoekitty said:  parents and grandparents have an extra burden. It's hard.  I got an email from our heating cooling company today,  they are diamond rated, been around since 1967.  They reduced costs on items. But I imagine it will be way too hard.  When business, new homes are halted and people don't work, business will be low. We had a new heating/ cooling system put in 2 years. But if we didn't.  I would jump at tech ace to save 20%!  Omg, our whole system with removal of 55 year old asbestos system was 21,000.   They explained their virus protection.  If I was looking for services I think I would be comfortable with them.   We do need a whole house generator, but I don't think they do that. I am not sure who does.
