This will be trying times for everyone in the hospitality, restaurant/bar, arcade, cinema, or other public gathering industry for sure.

Something I thought about, which I don't know exactly how to implement (a gofundme? similar?) is this:

We are all going to be at home and, pretty much everyone here owns machines at their house. We will be playing these games, yes on free play down in our basements/gamerooms. But, what if we "paid to play" for a little bit? Every time you play your games, donate the money you would have spent down there on the games played, same as if you were in an arcade,to a fund that would then go directly to the closest arcade geographically to you facing struggles. Again, not sure best implementation, but a thought I had and a way all of use with collections could chip in in a unique way.

I'm the tech at Abari Game Bar in Charlotte. We closed today after it was suggested that there be no social interactions above 5 people. Reboot Arcade Bar in the area also announced closing earlier today.

Copper has long been known for anti-microbial properties. I constantly walk into assisted living or nursing homes with long, old wooden railways up and down the hallways and brass door knobs. I think every assisted living and nursing home facility should have copper doorknobs, rails, etc. Even if the cost is a little higher, its properties are going to help against a multitude of viruses and bacteria.
