The COVID Project

In plain terms: if you ran a store between March 2020 and September 2021, the government told you when your door could be open, how many customers could stand inside, which departments had to be cordoned off, what hour you had to close, what your customers had to wear to come in, how much sanitizer you could keep on the shelf and what you could charge for it. Forty-three of the fifty-one jurisdictions closed non-essential retail to the public in March and April 2020. Every reopening was a capacity order with a date: 20, 25, 30, 33, 50, 60 or 75 percent; four customers per thousand square feet; one adult per household; ten patrons. The winter of 2020-21 cut those caps again in thirteen jurisdictions, on top of the holiday season. The last statewide cap came off on July 1, 2021. Behind the stores sat closed factories, a closed land border, closed schools and a federal order on every bus and train.

Those orders reached every function of a retail business, from the sales floor and the stockroom to the mall, the workforce and the customer. This page sets out the orders by layer, by quarter and by function, with a link to the instrument behind each one, and answers, one at a time, the fourteen sentences the Internal Revenue Service's letters use. The quarter the letters most often dispute is the third quarter of 2021, and for that quarter the record answers the letters day by day: a federal order on designated goods in force from July 1 through November 15, 2021; the conveyance order on every commute; the border closed on every day; face-covering orders reinstated in six States, the District and more than forty of the largest cities and counties, with the store as their enforcer.

Partial suspension, element by element

Every analysis on this site asks the same five questions in the same order. Here they are asked of Retail Trade, from the industry's own record.

  1. The order: issuer, instrument, date, exhibit.The Library holds 41 instruments from this industry's own regulators and sector authorities and 56 organizer notices. The earliest is Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Department of Homeland Security, Memorandum on Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During COVID-19 Response, Version 1.0 (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-07-001). The fifty-State regime table below names the State orders that reached its premises, State by State, each with its exhibit; the federal layer and the standing duties sit behind them on every day of the six quarters.
  2. The function of the business it reached.The orders named the functions of the business in terms. Three of this industry's 10 function codes: SFsales floorCUcurbside and online fulfillmentSTreceiving, stockroom and warehouse. The full key follows this panel, and Function by function reads the orders against each code.
  3. The change it compelled: the operative words.The operative words of Memorandum on Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During COVID-19 Response, Version 1.0 (Ex. SEC-07-001): “this list is advisory in nature. It is not, nor should it be considered to be, a federal directive or standard... Workers supporting groceries, pharmacies and other retail that sells food and beverage products” Each record page quotes the operative words in full, with the enforcement provision beside them.
  4. The quarter: in force on which days.Every instrument carries the quarters it was in force. This industry's record runs across all six: 2020 Q2342020 Q3282020 Q4162021 Q1162021 Q2112021 Q39 (the count is this industry's own instruments carrying the quarter). The six quarters sets out what was in force in each, and the third quarter of 2021 is listed instrument by instrument below.
  5. The statute's answer.A partial suspension is a temporary delay, interruption or termination of a portion of the business's operations; the order need only be the but-for cause of it; and nothing in the Suspension Clause asks whether the business was essential, stayed open, could telework or served customers who were themselves under orders (Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States). The test and the method are stated once, for every industry, at Partial suspension, element by element.

The same five steps run through the report the site builds for your own State, metro and quarters.

Function codes

The analysis describes the business as ten functions, each with a two-letter code that every page of this set uses without variation. An order “reached” a function when its operative words told the business what that part of it could do, when, where, for how many and on what conditions.
