What will be the impact, for maintenance shops, during the crisis. Also, will those requiring annual inspections and avionics checks find themselves beyond their expiration dates due to the fallout from the virus? Will extensions be granted?

Maybe drseti, would care to opine on the subject. Thanks in advance.

My shop is open, and I have plenty to do at the moment.

I heard on Thursday's edition of AOPA Live This Week that the alphabet organizations are asking FAA for temporary relief from expirations. In my state, the Governor has mandated a temporary shutdown of all non-essential businesses. That includes FBOs, so my shop and flight school are now closed.
