Nice idea out there to help local shops /restaurants/services suffering from decreased business due to virus. Go in, ask if you can buy a gift certificate for future use. They get the money when they need it, you will use it down the road.

When I was a little girl polio still came and stalked children. Then the Salk vaccine. He became a national hero. Everyone knew his name. In New York we were especially proud because he was from here, and Jewish.
Since 1988, more than 2.5 billion children have been immunized and incidences of polio infections have fallen by more than 99.99 percent. That is, they fell from 350,000 annual cases, to just 22 new cases across 3 countries in 2017.
