In New York City, store owners are preparing for what’s to come.
A growing scene for those who venture out into the streets of Manhattan these days is boarded up storefronts. From luxury retailers to small bars, establishments that have no idea when they are going to be allowed to reopen are putting up protection over their glass doors and windows.
The businesses have taken the unsightly measure in an effort to defend against the potential for civil unrest caused by the coronavirus and a lack of officers on the streets.
Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered bars and restaurants closed except for takeout service in mid-March. Most stores were also ordered to shut down.
Now, from Lower Manhattan to the Upper East Side, outlets are boarded up.
This is going to be a common sight across most American cities. Store owners boarding up their shops preparing for the inevitable civil unrest that’s to come.
Once all of this virus hysteria is over, there are going to be lots of desperate people with no money and no food. They are going to commit crimes and do things that they would not normally have done because of their desperation.
Prepare yourself!
