Projections were around $899 billion. As 2020 comes to a close, it’s tracking around $659 billion — a $240 billion loss because of Covid-19. To quantify it locally, James and Sarah Rushing Doss, owners of Rx Restaurant on Castle St., will see around a 65% revenue decrease in 2020. They have had to close and reopen the restaurant on multiple occasions this year because of the coronavirus.
