[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if part of the rush to open (mostly by conservatives) is because of the paradigm shift that will happen when huge numbers of people have no money or are essential but expendable and start protesting conditions.  Something like this exposes the major vulnerabilities in our society ie lack of or highly overpriced medical care, need to increase wages or possibly even a universal income.  [/quote]

People want to work.  They want to open their businesses.  Why is this so hard for you to understand?  
Most people don't want government giving them an "income."  They want to run their business and earn their living.  They want to be productive.

These people believe they are essential workers too.  Essential because they want to earn a living.

I completely understand this, but it doesn't have to be either/or.

That's the problem with the statewide lockdowns. They are blanket orders with few exceptions. The problem is that if you open your business, you might infect a lot of people, which means the healthcare system will be overburdened, healthcare workers might die, and then what? Was it worth it?

There has to be a way to open businesses and keep both workers and customers safe. I'm sure there's no simple, one-size-fits-all solution. Partly opening businesses could work, with social distancing, masks, making sure employees at work have been tested and aren't asymptomatic carriers? Maybe other things I haven't thought of that might apply to particular businesses.

I need my hair salon! But how can my stylist cut my hair and maintain social distance? I'm not seeing any way, even if we both wear masks. Solution, anyone?

If you have been paying attention, this is the plan.  
But, there are governors in some states putting totally ridiculous restrictions in place.  When the public looks at some of the draconian restrictions that make no sense, they lose trust in your judgment. 
That is what happened in Michigan.  [/quote]
