It’s time to open small business. What is safer a business that can clean after every customer or Walmart that cleans every 5000 customers. You have no idea what it’s like to let your employees go. You have a stack of bills to pay and no income. You don’t sleep at night because you worry about everything you have worked your whole life to build. Restaurants can open with 1/3 seating. If you don’t like it stay locked up. Be smart and use a mask and shop small.
IS IT TRUE its time that relatives and parents of millenniums demand that they begin to quarantine themselves for the sake of the older members of the family
I guess the person who wrote this IIT statement believes “millenniums” are a big problem and the main source of the persons not following the quarantine order. A trip (actually two – also on Sunday) to Menards for hardware to fix a trailer that is loaded with trap rock (yes I guess this 53 year old is part of the problem) shows the above not to be true.
