[Get Yours: GO!]( [Corporate casualties of COVID-19]( Nicole Caldwell [ Corporate casualties of COVID-19 ]( [See full slideshow »]( More than 3,600 companies filed for bankruptcy between January and June of this year as the coronavirus pandemic caused widespread shutdowns, cratered demand, and thrust the United States into a recession. In June 2020 alone, there was a 43% spike in Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings over the same month in 2019, according to Epiq’s bankruptcy filing statistics. This chapter of the Bankruptcy Code allows for a corporation or partnership to undergo a reorganization, often with an infusion of cash, to keep the business afloat while reimbursing creditors. Stacker compiled a list of corporate casualties of COVID-19, mining information from press releases, bankruptcy filings, and news releases. For the purposes of this article, we’ve highlighted brands that are household names that can be found all over the country. We’ve also left off companies that are contracting their reach amid the pandemic but not filing for bankruptcy, such as Dunkin’ Donuts’ closure of 800 locations nationally. Other big businesses, such as retailer Modell’s, and high-end grocer Dean and Deluca, announced bankruptcy filings early on in the pandemic that were the result of years of sliding profits. Sears, which filed for bankruptcy two years ago, continues to limp along with sliding sales but has not yet announced unilateral closures. Many of the corporations included here have sought shelter under a bankruptcy filing but do not intend to fully close. And still others, such as retailer True Religion that filed for bankruptcy in April (its third in as many years), expect to come out of bankruptcy within the year.

Millions of people have lost their jobs, millions more have seen their hours cut, and untold numbers of people fear they could lose their incomes any day. The economy is setting records for bad news. Workers have had to choose among keeping their jobs, taking care of family members at home, and trying to protect themselves and stay healthy. Small businesses are closing. Company expansions and job creation are suspended at best, if not canceled altogether. Trips to the grocery store are stressful episodes, from worries overexposure to the coronavirus to worries over having enough money to feed a hungry family. Children have been stuck at home. The fortunate ones are doing schoolwork on laptops and tablets, but many are trying to learn lessons over cellphones, and too many lack online access altogether. Practicing social skills, making friends, and playing games at recess are on hold. Parents, teachers, and administrators make agonizing choices over sending children back into actual classrooms. With less money, Americans are trying to put meals on the table, but food prices are rising. Dinner in a restaurant is a thing of the past. Millions of households each day struggle over how to pay basic bills. Children whose most nutritious meal of the day was their school lunch are going hungry. Thousands of people are lining up for help from charities and food pantries. A record number of Americans are behind in their rent and mortgage payments, with potential evictions looming for millions of families. Underlying it all is the effect COVID-19 has had on America’s mental health. The number of people with anxiety and depression has hit perilously high numbers. But millions do not have the health insurance they need for quality treatment. To examine how life in America has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Stacker used data from the Household Pulse Survey, a U.S. Census dataset that posed questions to Americans specifically to evaluate how the pandemic impacted daily life. Stacker chose 25 metrics from the survey, including education, employment loss, food security, health, and housing. For each metric, it pulled national- and state-level figures. Data in this story are as of July 29, reflecting the 12th week of the Household Pulse Survey, July 16-21.
