I agree. People that aren't concerned about the economy or talk about the "almighty dollar" don't seem to understand that closing businesses hurts those at the lower end of the pay scale more than anyone. Wait staff, cleaning people etc are counting on their pay checks and tips to simply live.

The Stock market is not the economy. Businesses closing is not just about the owners or investors. It is about all of the employees not have a job.

The economy is a big concern. If we shut down everything because of the virus, we may slow the spread of the virus while people starved to death.
