The novel coronavirus has infected millions of people in three months, killing more than 166,000 of them around the world as of Monday morning. COVID-19 fundamentally changed life as we knew it. Jobs, sports, movies, gadget launches, and the ability to go outside at will have all been affected by the new virus.
Because there’s no cure or vaccine, and we have yet to find a treatment that can prevent complications and reduce death rates, social distancing is one of the only tools we have to fight SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 disease. But that’s not enough to save the industries being affected. Even strawberries are in peril, and you can add beer and your favorite flavor of soda to the list of products that may be hurt by the coronavirus pandemic.
