Lives and careers are being destroyed by the draconian actions of some states. Depression, suicide, drug abuse, bankruptcies, divorce, child abuse, crime and so on. Do you think the folks in food lines are any less likely to catch Covid than patrons of a restaurant?

We should not be so insular that we are blind to the devastation being meted out to those who are in very low risk categories for death . I believe that Florida has found the right balance.

Perhaps it should be the responsibility of retirees with reliable income to take the proper precautions and should stop demanding that others risk financial ruin and other life altering events. Maybe it is not the small business owners and their employees who are the ones being selfish.
