Few among us ever expected to be faced with an existential crisis and have to make such a terrible choice in our lifetime, but here we are.
It's not realistic to assume the virus won't keep spreading when we reopen the country in the absence of a vaccine or effective treatment. There will be people out there who are asymptomatic and infected. And that's what caused the virus to catch fire in the first place.
I'm wondering how much panic is going to ensue when we're in a movie theater or Villages rec center and someone coughs or sneezes.

I'm wondering how many customers will be willing to buy a ticket and go INTO the theatre, knowing that their movie might cause their death.
