So, before you get back to your life as you knew it before COVID-19, I beg you to consider the healthcare workers. Have you thought about which hospital you would go to if you would require hospitalization? Have you considered the first responders, nurses and other healthcare providers and their families? Perhaps another few weeks of self-isolation and selflessness might be the best idea. I know that all of us want to go back to life as we knew it. You may be longing to go back to the squares, but none of us want to go back to square one. So I beseech you, consider your fellow man.
No one has said anything about going back to normal. Mitigation procedures will remain in place as selective areas and businesses open for a very controlled business. We can't hole up for a long period without substantial long term damage to the economy. Unlike most of the retirees in the Villages, people need their jobs to survive and if we don't want to go into a spiraling depression, which will affect everybody, we need them to get back to work.
