It is a government takings case without compensation in the making. Ordering businesses closed is akin to confiscation without compensation. All this is a violation of our civil rights under the color of law. All unconstitutional. All a very good reason to begin litigation now and retire in a few years once your case resolves with compensation. Sue these state government reps out of existence in a civil court of law. Hold them all civilly liable for taking control of your property without just and equitable compensation. When they all lose everything they have, because they were causing you to lose everything you have without compensation.... perhaps then and only then; they will be disinclined to force the population to acquiesce to violations of their constitutionally protected rights in the present and future.

I read a good argument that most states are using their powers of eminent domain to close down businesses. If that's the case, reasonable compensation is required for all of the businesses that were forcibly closed.
Now, not getting into the whole garbage of "It's actually me paying for that," it would almost be worth it to watch mostly bankrupt states be hit with orders to pay out pallets of cash to the businesses they harmed during this. Realistically, it isn't going to happen, but I would love to see all of the ham-fisted dictators shit bricks if they were actually handed a bill for that, and even more so if they could be made personally liable for their bad judgement.
Ah well, I can dream.
