State-mandated social distancing shutdowns are being rolled out across the country, closing down bars, entertainment venues, and restaurants - taking the livelihoods of countless service workers with them.

And as independent small businesses classified as "nonessential," like bookstores and art galleries, are forced to close they also find themselves in the same increasingly dire situation.
