Corona beer is being temporarily shutdown during the COVID-19 outbreak after the Mexican government announced this week that all non-essential activities were to be suspended until April 30 in order to flatten the curb.
Grupo Modelo, the brewing company in charge of Corona beer, stated that they will be pausing the production of beer but are prepared to continue production with "75 percent of our staff working from home" if the government decides that beer is considered an essential. They say they are still able to supply beer while protecting working from the virus and don't expect a shortage of production in the process.
In a survey, it states that 38 percent of American beer drinkers would not, under "no circumstances", buy a corona beer.
Questions
1) Do you think the Spanish government will consider beer an essential in the future and allow corona to continue production?
2) What are your thoughts on Corona's plan if they are allowed to continue production? Do you think it will work without any negative effects on the company?

I do not think pumping out beer is an essential service since there are more pressing issues at hand. Moreover, I remember that this company wanted to change its beer name since it would be associated with the virus or that drinking it "would give you the virus" (which are all hoaxes). It is also funny that some people online are saying that those squishy, spikey plastic balls would end production since they look like a magnified version of the micro coronavirus itself.
