Tech workers from Apple to Twitter are working from home and even though they can go out, they don't.
"It's probably about 70% difference, 80%, sometimes more," a business owner said. "Especially with the shelter-in-place, people don't know what to do, whether they should stay home or come out."
Robert Chapman, business professor at San Jose State University said many people are forgetting about their favorite small businesses while at home.
"We're not seeing people reach out to the small business that they want to have back there," he said.
Trying to stay in businesses while also staying healthy is a concern for business owners.
