I would guess that most countries excuse technical violations of the law if official orders such as a quarantine get in the way. As an example, if a policeman orders you to continue through a red light, you can be ticketed only if you violate the policeman's orders.

Starting a new business? There is no better time than a depression. Rents are low, supplies are cheap, inventories are available at fire-sale prices without the smell of smoke and without water damage, good help is easy to find, and customers are loyal. Starting a new business is always difficult, but it becomes a better choice when other opportunities vanish. The work is hard and the hours are long, as usual, and the return on investment is bare survival -- but it is survival. As things improve a business owner is in the best position in which to profit from the improvement. Hard times force good habits.

But there isn't an abundance of land today like there was in the Depression era because of much larger populations and at least twice as much land under development.

To be sure, I was not thinking of starting a farm.  Retailer, restaurant, repair shop... even an advertising agency.

The point I am making is that land may not be so cheap and plentiful this time around.
