The answer is not to reopen the economy; it's to freeze the economy. The government should provide everyone with the economic wherewithal to survive this period without leaving home. It's criminal to make people have to choose between their livelihood and their health.

Thank you Marianne you are so right. Protections could have been put in place in so many different ways. As always the corporations are protected and the people are not. Funny how corporate socialism is just fine.

Do you understand that the government doesn't magically have stuff to provide people? It get's everything -- food, goods, even money -- from people who are working. If workers stop working, the government will not be able to provide anybody anything.

Who's going to actually make the things you need, grow the food, deliver the food, manufacture the parts, supplies, farm equipment, and on and on? Staying home means nothing happens, and everything dies.
