Goldman PLLC Tue, 17 Mar 2020 20:38:51 +0000 en-US hourly 1 90915732 Bankruptcy Could Help You Deal With the Economic Impact of Coronavirus https://www.jacksonvillebankruptcylawyerblog.com/bankruptcy-could-help-you-deal-with-the-economic-impact-of-coronavirus/ Tue, 17 Mar 2020 18:54:30 +0000 https://www.jacksonvillebankruptcylawyerblog.com/?p=1252 Americans can’t go online, turn on the TV or go shopping without being bombarded with news about coronavirus. Our Facebook feeds are rife with posts about the virus and how much impact it will have on our every day lives.  Just a few months ago, we were gearing up for March Madness, spring break at Disneyworld, PGA Golf Tournaments and Lucero at the  Ryman Auditorium.    Now those events have been postponed or canceled, and even Orlando theme parks are closed for the rest of the month.  Just today, IRS  postponed the deadline on which income taxes are due to July 15.

Our lives have changed in a flash.  The Associated Press warns that Americans must brace for new life of no school and growing dread.  We now spend more time in line at Walmart buying toilet paper than we do lining up for Black Friday sales. Parents worry about their jobs while they wonder who’ll watch their children while they are at work since schools have extended spring break or shut down for weeks.

The world has changed.  We are told to practice “social distancing” and not come within so many feet of our fellow human beings. People are wearing medical masks and gloves when they go out. Some people walk around with Lysol bottles.
