Could this Covid-19 put health insurance companies out of business?

Especially with places closing down & cancelling functions. Here in KS some counties have put out mandates on no crowds of 250 or more meeting. And our mall which is already suffering is closing for 10 days to clean. Nursing homes are going on lock down so I don't imagine it will be much longer before hospitals follow suit. Part of our financial resources in FS relies on visitors coming to eat. No visitors, less money. That could hurt us bad.

What is FS?

I understand the idea of thoroughly cleaning public spaces, but closing down for 10 days to clean, then reopening seems crazy to me. The moment humans reenter the space the mall will be back where it started.

Yeah I don't know why they need 10 days. FS is Food service. Sorry about that. LOL

Definitely a ripple affect. A friend posted that she didn't see the sense in the crowd limit of 250 people. And I agree. I did see that one place had a limit of 50 people. That seems more reasonable to us. I feel sorry for areas that rely on the tourist trade and other industries that are being so hard it by this outbreak. The affects will be devastating for too many people. ☹
 
I think that the insurance companies will pass more costs on to their customers rather than go under. I've already seen that it's promised they will pay for testing...but the caveat, not the treatment. Imagine how costly the treatment is. I don't know under what circumstances or which companies will pay for treatment at this point. There have been a lot of promises, misinformation and speculation.

one thing is nice, church was closed but because of technology I was still able to attend normal service online. it was just the church staff with no congregation.

So has New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I believe I saw where some other states are doing the same. NY, NJ & CT now have curfews. In NJ from 8 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. residents are to stay off the streets except for emergency situations. Well it's an emergency that my son hits the highway to get to work. He leaves about 4:00 a.m. and is a trucker.
