Hi all.. just wondering what are you're all thoughts on the impact that Corona is having on consumers,

  • coral/fish availability
  • inverts
  • prices
  • shipping
  • LFS closures
  • etc
I'm noticing of course the LFS are limiting their store hours and in store browsing, plus encouraging curb side pickup, but I'm one of those people that never like to buy anything without seeing it first. 2 of my LFS are going to do WYSIWIG but I wonder why they are just doing this now instead of before Corona, I suppose out of no other options?

I'm thinking coral demand will go up because everyone is stuck at home, but supply seems to be limited so prices are going to go up. On the other hand, economic recessions mean hobbies will go down in demand... What do you think?
