COVID-19 took the world by storm in 2020, and the virus brought with it financial hardships and an economic recession all over the United States. Cities across the country banded together to mandate stay-at-home orders and required the use of masks in an effort to flatten the curve and prevent the further spread of the virus. As a result, many small businesses took some of the biggest hits financially and were forced to close either temporarily or permanently. In addition, the country has seen an inconsistent wave of regulations that differ from city to city. The United States currently has a total of 6.2 million reported cases of the coronavirus so far, and over 185,000 have died from the virus.
