There is no financial downside for opening squares or anything else until if it gets too bad that the local government is forced to do something and I don't think Sumter County has the desire to do anything. The businesses have never had a desire to do anything that wasn't mandated and the population has never had a desire to do anything if it interfered with their personal selfish agendas. The major health organizations in the world are in agreement, the major hospitals and research centers in US are in agreement that 1) there is no cure and stopping the virus won't happen until there is a vaccine and 2) while treatment has improved and they are keeping people alive, the long term effects of those with or without symptoms are unknown and 3) emerging studies that by contracting the virus, with or without symptoms, can decrease life expectancy by up to 10 years or more especially in the black and latino populations. It is comforting to know that those that are supporting the opening and selfishly want their life to return to normal have more knowledge then some of the best medical minds in the world.
