My city has basically not closed anything. Businesses that are non essential are switching to curbside pickup and drive thrus. This is after the governor ordered closure of all non-essential bussinesses. I think the large cities are highly likely to follow the closure order to the dot, but many of the small (and medium-ish) towns will just alter service. Just as a reference my county has had 3 cases and 1 death of covid-19. I'm sure the more cases the more serious businesses will get about it.

Businesses (I noticed) that are completely closed were kohl's and shoe carnival. Family video was still open, drive thru only.

All I know is that I make ~$1100 a month right now and pay all my bills (mortgage included). No, I don't have health insurance, but help is still help. Rent not being covered comes down to your location and property, but around here $1200 goes a long way.
