Staying home does absolutely nothing to stimulate the economy but does everything to promote depression and hopelessness. Shouldn't we be all about getting our economy to be prosperous again? Shouldn't we be all about getting the children back in schools safely? Shouldn't we be all about getting college campuses operating safely? Shouldn't we be all about getting sports up and running again with actual fans in the seats and filling those stadiums and arenas to full capacity? How about being able to do grocery shopping in the store and not having to order on line? Not to mention, dining in restaurants and giving the service people their livelihoods back to what they were prepandemic.

Staying home stifles all of this. Yes, i do believe telling people to "stay home" is absolutely wrong on every level. We have to learn to live with this virus out there. That does not mean we should "stay home". That means social distancing, wearing masks, washing our hands frequently and do not touch our faces when our hands are not freshly washed.

Listen to the experts and do what they say. Don't be a science denier and write your own rules. Most of all, please don't tell people to "stay home".

well said!!!
