The state closed me down and expects me to survive

I own and operate a 7 room bed & breakfast. I was closed down on March 16 when I was told I was non-essential. As a sole proprietor (no employees), I was—am—not eligible for the PPP, any SBA assistance, and unemployment has been a joke. The state closed me down and expects me to survive. Everyone rallied around the restaurants—we need to save them!—but promptly forgot the small lodging properties. I am NOT AirBnB. I am a legitimate business—I pay taxes, permit fees, licenses. And after they declare this madness over, I will still not do well because of the panic induced by the government that will cause people NOT to travel. I am afraid I will need to file for bankruptcy.
