Things should be running as normal, and if you are old or have conditions that put You at risk for getting severe complications of the virus, you should take responsibility to protect yourself. I 100% believe that businesses would allow those individuals to make accommodations to prevent themselves from getting sick.

There are plenty of elderly and sick individuals that are not capable of protecting themselves and/or able to make decisions. Many also don’t have the means/support to get assistance.

The reason we are not running as normal is that the virus has shown to spread easily. These precautions are buying us time to help prevent the spread of the virus for as long as possible.

Italy is a great example of what happens when you just let things “run as normal”. Their system got overwhelmed quite quickly.
