The post here is still running, the postal pickup service for businesses is still running. A small POD shop could do printing on it's own (as long as there are supplies) and ship to one-(wo)man stores directly, who can supply customers by post. So publisher => POD shop => store => customer. Publishers could even do some direct sales that way. Or you could do stuff directly from China (Aliexpress orders are arriving again), produce it there and let a distribution center so shipping from there...People will need to be creative (and safe!), but there is also an opportunity for the very small business and folks out of work.One issue could be international shipments (to certain), anything but regular post is going to end up sitting in port and being very expensive.Overall this is going to be a big domino effect. People can't get to business X, business X goes out of business, people loose their job, no income, can't pay business Y, business Y goes out of business, repeat...</blockquote>
