How are startups doing in the COVID-19 economy? - Marketplace
While many startups are quickly pivoting their expertise to ventures that will help with this pandemic mess, the young, innovative companies have always been risky.

Maybe they’ll cut down the scope: Instead of trying to develop two products, they’ll try to develop one product. What they’re going to try to do is get their cash flow under control. That is, get control of the amount of cash that goes out the door every week, because they’re not going to have cash coming in.
Long Beach Post launches virtual marketplace for local makers to sell cloth face masks •
The Long Beach Post, with the assistance of the City of Long Beach, has launched a marketplace for local makers and businesses to connect with people looking to purchase masks and face coverings.
The Long Beach Post receives no commission from the sale of products sold through this marketplace.
Do not use masks as a substitute for social distancing and hand-washing. Masks can help stem the spread of germs, but other actions should also be taken. Be sure to keep your mask clean by washing it. Also avoid buying medical grade masks unless you are in a high-risk group; these supplies are in short supply, and must be made available for healthcare workers and others at risk.
