"When the pandemic ends, most people will get back to normal, but we're going to be feeling the pain for many years to come."
Craig Meikle is talking about his business - a soft play and football centre in Dalkeith, Midlothian.
The soft play area, which provides two-thirds of the firm's income, has been closed since March 2020 and a date for reopening remains uncertain.
