Unless you are planning on going to a park or museum, it's not immediately obvious to most. It will affect my workplace as we submit grants to the National Institutes of Health. It's likely this round of submissions and reviews may be disrupted.

Aside from government workers, many private businesses have government contracts, and this will affect them. It's one of those things where the longer it continues, the more people it touches.
