What’s your point?[/quote]

I think the point is that all the people who are sitting in their homes declaring that only morons who want to die are going out are discounting the fact that lots of people are already out and making it possible for them to sit barricaded in their homes.  [/quote]

Nobody in this thread has said that people should not return to work in safe conditions. All the deliveries that I am seeing these days are contactless. We are rarely getting deliveries but do pick-ups more often. I see the Grubhub folks doing contactless pickups at restaurants. We have had contactless deliveries at our house. This is exponentially safer than a bunch of folks congregating in a restaurant.

They aren't contactless. People have to touch the groceries, pack the groceries, and deliver the groceries. People have to prepare the food at restaurants.

Those people doing the packing, delivering, etc. don't have the luxury of staying home.[/quote]

If you’re cool with doing “contactless” food, then there’s no reason why you can’t be cool with businesses opening up with the same rules such as masks, gloves, etc.

In both scenarios, you’re taking a risk of getting COVID, albeit very small risk.

I’m not saying let’s have NBA games, concerts, WWE events, etc, but we can definitely have the smaller businesses such as local shops and wineries and parks to reopen. [/quote]

I've said about 100 times that that is exactly what I am in favor of. We need testing to identify those who are positive. Contact tracing to find out who else was exposed. PPE to add protection. And socially distant workplaces and transportation to help prevent the spread.

We currently aren't able to do any of this on any sort of scale.

I heard they’re gonna roll out at-home testing similar to a home pregnancy test. That would work well. Combine that with masks (gloves are overkill unless you’re dealing with food ) and you’re set. [/quote]

I don’t think I want contact tracing, though. That’s too much. I like having my privacy and not exposing others records. Because then it seeps into other Orwellian territories. [/quote]

well too bad because they already do contact tracing for infectious diseases and have been doing so for a long, long time. [/quote]
