Well, 2 out of those 3 sound like small businesses. Maybe, just maybe, they were quite happy with the first lockdown to “flatten the curve” because “we were all in this together” and watched their savings deplete while their friends who could work from home were minimally affected. Now they’re probably at the end of their tether, both emotionally and financially, and they figure they might as well try and make some money while they can.
There are only so many times you can ask the same sector of society to pay for the pandemic before they tell you to shove it.
