We had something similar briefly happen with grocery delivery services in India. When delivery services resumed following the confusion of our nationwide lockdown, delivery slots were released for a neighbourhood together, and orders for the neighbourhood were lumped and delivered together. Many housing societies would not allow delivery personnel inside, so the lumped orders would be delivered at the community gate.
Broader access to securities-based lending (NOT margin). Hearing a lot of people selling parts of their portfolios to fund themselves or their families during the crisis, obviously this is a very inopportune time to be liquidating. Would be a lot better if they paid a fairly nominal interest rate (2-4%) to fund their short term demands instead of being forced to sell to generate cash. Not advising people people take loans against >50% of their nest egg.
