Small business owners are expressing frustration after a new study shows that lockdowns had very little effect on public health outcomes in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
Joseph Tota, founder and chief executive officer for Tapville, which has restaurants across the country and specializes in self-pour and service technology for craft beer, wine and cider, told FOX Business the lockdowns were "frustrating," given the new study showing their ineffectiveness.
Tota said he had to close his business during periods of the pandemic and had to temporarily lay off some employees because there were no customers. He said that a "significant" amount of money was lost during the pandemic, adding that there needs to be controls put in place so another government shutdown of businesses doesn't happen again.
"The whole idea of the lockdown is completely senseless. I mean, all they've done is destroy a lot of businesses and threw a lot of people out of work," Van Curen said. California Gov. Gavin Newsom removes his mask before speaking during a press conference at the Native American Health Center in Oakland, Calif., Dec. 22, 2021.
