CPAs have been insanely busy through this, but most of that has been work from home. Don't know how lawyers are doing.
Seems that the necessities or borderline necessities are weathering this mess. The purely elective purchases (bars, restaurants, movies, certain retailers, etc.) are more challenged, or completely fucked (gyms, yoga studios).
I think the percentage drop in gdp from country to country will be the same because the elective purchases from nation to nation tend to be the same. The test for Sweden will be whether it resumes those elective purchases faster than the rest of the world.

My yoga studio has done REALLY well pivoting to online. The classes on Zoom have been up to two hundred people for the popular teachers, probably bringing in $2500 a day with minimal overhead. They're planning on keeping it as an option even after they reopen.
In unrelated news, I gave blood for my antibody test today. We'll see if that bug I caught in NYC in February was just a bug or something more sinister in a day or so.
