    Good idea to diversify… Even though it might only be a tent of the normal business. (I’ll get me coat…)

    @Dermot Foley: Maybe but it gives a sense of hope that some found a way to keep going.

    @Dermot Foley: yep, but that’s fine as it covers how businesses are adapting to COVID, ideas for (some) families and a bit of optimism. It would be good to include that small and medium businesses can get COVID grants to come up with ideas and loans to transition from LEOs and EI.
