Turns out Madison, Wisconsin, record store Strictly Discs has taken only a modest hit from the pandemic -- but threats facing the U.S. postal service could be "debilitating."

As far as how [the coronavirus is] trending in our area, not particularly, except that things in our county have been looking favorable. And I think we're all just kind of eyeing the return of the student population and what the University [of Wisconsin-Madison] does as having probably the next big impact on how our local community fares.

As much online as I think is feasible, and smaller lectures in person in large rooms. But there'll be a large influx of the student population in the next two to three weeks. That's the age group where we've seen the greatest increase in cases, so we're hopeful that that doesn't continue when we have more of that population here.

It's times like this where it makes you feel old and very removed from that population, but not so far removed that you don't remember feeling invincible. I can relate to how some of those students want to continue with their social life and stay out and about. So I know that's going to be a factor. Thankfully at this point, the bars are still closed in Madison, so that may be beneficial. But I still think there'll be plenty of gatherings of college age students in town.
