This is dangerous thought and I am perfectly okay with people like you being shot.

Good. Let them fill the stores and burn it down with them all in it.

But if the people on this forum are any indication, the vast majority of them are cowering behind their government in fear.

Or maybe they're just doing one simple thing they can to help alleviate the spread of a devastating virus?

I think the question that people should be asking is why does the government get to decide what businesses are essential and what businesses are non-essential?
Because if it were up to anyone else, all business owners would claim they are essential so they suffer as little financial impact as much as possible.

There's no concern for each other, just themselves. It's pretty sad honestly.

And my grocery store has an army of employees wiping down carts, check out lanes, credit card machines, etc.



This should be done at every store regardless of the current hysterical epidemic. People are disgusting.

Everyone knows there is a financial impact of this. Some people are just concerned about killing their fellow man as well.
Financial destruction causes that too.

That is a fact.

Increased homelessness, suicides, crime, all result in study proven reductions of years off of lives and in deaths.

Why do you neglect that fact?

Unfortunately, people like you are not.
Apparently, people like you want to put people out on the street.

There was a 40% increase in homelessness in NYC after the last financial crisis.

Does that matter to you at all?

I work in healthcare consulting

My wife works in a clinical setting

They are already at capacity in her 2 hospitals

The issue isn’t really safety, overall. It’s more of a “let’s not completely overwhelm our healthcare system”

Atlanta, Charlotte, among others are at capacity in terms of beds

A single dipshit's anecdotal evidence being used to reflect the operations of 900 stores is useless & laughable.

Again, it isn't about YOU.

It does and by people not taking this seriously, the economy is going to be impacted much worse because this will be dragged out over time.

The quicker people take it seriously, the quicker this ends and we can go about our lives. People just aren't willing to make a temporary sacrifice to make that happen.
