The number of people that enter my store on a daily basis is surpassed by Target in about 1 minute-so Social Distancing is not an issue. But they are "essential" and my business is not, so I have to close. Maybe at this point I would be doing virtually no business and would have shut down myself, anyway. I just want to live in a country where I have that choice. Up until 2020, I did. Now I have no idea where I live, but I don't like it. Personal freedom and liberty is a very serious subject. In the narrative of saving lives we have stomped on these values that has always been who we are. I don't know if there is any going back. This precedent is bad, no matter how you look at it. Somewhere down the line when are freedoms are gone we will look back at these days and wonder how we let them slip away. Hopefully, this is an overreaction, but I am not so sure.
I repeat, the cure at this point does seem a lot worse than the disease. JMO
