If we keep cutting off large sectors of the economy (elective medical procedures - all food service workers, hair dressers, schools, event/promotion industries) for another 4 weeks - you will see a super cascade effect in the economy that could be where we have 30%+ unemployment. 

Retail seems OK, but I would expect issues soon if you are selling into the lower price points - the target market might work in hospitality, entertainment, or other sectors hit hard & recent job losses I think will hit the lower end market first.Investors are holding off - I am seeing wholesalers dropping prices and hounding me when I couldn't get one to return an email the first week of March.I think prices in real estate will drop over the next 3-6 months (maybe longer as foreclosures will be delayed).
