[quote=Anonymous]This way of life is not sustainable. At this point, the benefits do not outweigh the risks. We have flattened the curve and need to slowly return to "normal" in order to prevent further collateral damage. The proposed phases are promising, but they could use some tweaking. For example, places of worship should not reopen in phase 1. Even with 50% occupancy, this is a terrible idea. However, hairdressers, barbers, small businesses, etc. need to re-open and can provide services while maintaining safe environments. Schools need to re-open in the fall! There are children suffering abuse, starving, battling depression, being neglected, or simply not receiving the educational services they need. School districts can offer a distance learning option for families who do not feel comfortable sending kids to school. We don't need to rush into travel. People who can work from home should continue working from home. When children return to school, parents should continue working from home if possible. Large gatherings should be avoided. People with compromised immune systems should stay home. We can use common sense to improve our quality of life, save our economy, and educate our children while continuing to flatten the curve. What we are doing now is not sustainable.[/quote]
