Do you own a car? I know a lot of people are making money doing pick up and delivery (with all precautions in place, of course.)

If your store, dry cleaner, or pharmacy doesn't deliver, having someone to make a run for you can really improve the quality of life while you're in lock down. There are volunteers for the frail and elderly, but people who don't qualify for the programs could still benefit from the service.

I'd kill for some sushi right now!

You wrote sold but you werent so clear on exactly what you mean by that. If you or your husband was in sales, you might find a temp position in the few businesses that are on the uptick now.
Feel free to pm me if a sales position might be a good fit.

No one will pay a starting salary of what he got till now. He should take what's available, less money is better than no money.

This, and he should consider growth potential. If it's a low entry pay, but has a high opportunity for advancement, then it will be worth the trade off in the long run. If it's a dead end job, then just take the money while still looking for something better.

If you are talking about selling tangible goods, like on Ebay, forget it. The postal service is a nightmare, and the express companies aren't doing any better. I had to close my Etsy shop because I have no reliable way of filling orders.

Some people are making fairly good money tutoring English online. The employer will give you a set curriculum, so you don't have to worry about what to teach. Some places pay better than others, and some offer more hours than others, so check around.
