州政府临时刹车“重新开放”计划，企业们面临着进退两难的困境

周四，邦妮·莫拉莱斯告诉2个人他们被雇佣了，然而在3个小时后，她突然取消了这份工作机会，因为她位于俄勒冈州的餐馆，由于激增的COVID-19病例，被当地政府暂停重新开业了。邦妮表示，庆幸的是，他们还没有购买任何物资。 病毒在美国一些地区的再次出现，给企业主们带来了新的困境：为了重新开业，他们需要重新雇佣工人、提前购买物资，但各个州政府往往在最后一刻，才会通过当日的病例来决定到底要不要重新开放，如果临时暂停重新开放，企业们之前投入的资金和时间成本就成了打水漂，这种不确定性使得企业们左右为难。俄勒冈州的Multnomah县原定于周五进入重新开放的第一阶段，但由于该州飙升的新增病例，州长凯特·布朗周四晚些时候决定暂缓计划。代表俄勒冈州6000家小企业的NFIB俄勒冈州主任安东尼·史密斯对此发表看法："昨晚宣布的时间太晚了，我希望大部分企业还没有雇佣员工或购买物资。这些都是有成本的，肯定也会造成一些额外的财务困难。"不单单是俄勒冈州，从亚利桑那州到德克萨斯州，Covid-19病例的激增使得各州的决定大相径庭--这让企业们重新开业的规划更加艰难。

On Thursday, Bonnie Morales told two people they were hired. Three hours later, she rescinded the job offers, as Oregon, where her restaurant Kachka operates, pressed pause on reopening amid a record surge of Covid-19 cases. “Those things are terrible,” Morales said. “Thankfully we haven’t purchased any inventory.” A resurgence of the virus in some parts of the country is creating fresh tumult for business owners. To reopen, they need to rehire furloughed workers and buy supplies in advance. But the states are making decisions on what to do by looking at case and hospitalization data often at the last minute, making planning impossible. Oregon’s Multnomah County, where much of Portland lies, was set to enter Phase 1 of reopening on Friday. But Governor Kate Brown decided to hold that back late on Thursday. “Due to the lateness of the announcement last night I hope not a lot of businesses have been ramping up, bringing employees back or buying inventory -- things that come with costs,” said Anthony Smith, Oregon state director of NFIB, representing 6,000 small businesses in Oregon. “That could certainly cause some additional financial hardships.” From Arizona to Texas, Covid-19 cases are surging, and decisions on what to do vary widely by state -- which makes planning for companies operating in multiple states even tougher.  source
