Coronavirus pandemic pushes small businesses to brink but billionaire landlord stands firm on rents

You might not like it, but he makes some good points though. If businesses are well established and have enough cash reserves, owner equity and forethought to have planned for the unexpected, they probably should keep paying full rent.
Those that can, should keep to their commitments so that some of the economy can keep turning.

Skin is a good barrier againgst virures , just do not cut yourself ( those that shave , best at night before venturing out in public)
You do not get COVID19 through cut into blood stream. You need to get it in your mouth or inhale it. It is a respiratory disease.
Chairs can be wiped with sanitiser, rubbing alcohol or whatever. Our doctor's surgery gives flu shots to people in their cars parked behind in their private car park. To prevent people coming in.
The lungs and the person's immune response is the weak link in dealing with SARS-CoV-2 virus
Entering the body via a cut on skin, course you can , if there is virus on the skin where the cut is , the virus replicates in blood cells
Also is most likely sexually transmitted ( but do not say where you read this )

If they are shelf stackers the store might be required to shut down for 3 days to ensure any virus on items are deactivated ( I think is up to 72 hours on some surfaces )

More indirectly , does not replicate in blood cells , but virus could be carried through the blood stream to the lung cells
Same with sexual transmission ( although no direct studies to my knowledge published yet )
