[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, we already did this. You cannot shut down everything. Many, many things still need to function - people aren't getting covid from buying groceries.

People's AC will will break, contractors will need to go out. Ditto for other emergency contractors - electric, plumbing, utilities, construction, etc. Fire/EMS need to work. People who work in long term care facilities cannot stay home (this is a big part of how covid spread).  And regular hospital/medical staff. All those people have families, and live in households where the essential personnel needs to go out.

We're just going to have to live with this to a degree. If you're high risk, STAY HOME.

This, completely. I can’t believe the bubbles that people live in with no understanding of the real world. And, to echo other PPs, this is basically what we did in March—told two weeks and it went on for months. We just have to live with it, and those at high risk should take responsibility for themselves and stay home![/quote]
