Those that went to work every day - whether they delivered your pizza to you or made sure that your prescriptions got filled or brought your groceries to you for curbside pick up - deserve our appreciation. Without them, things really would have gotten pretty dire for all of us.
I believe that Amazon Prime and Walmart can DELIVER just about anything. They did during the quarantine. The economy was slower, but it continued along. It was safer with less exposure to CV. Florida opened up too soon because of greed for profit over protecting its citizens. The 1st rule of government is NOT to protect the profits - it is to PROTECT the people. That is the point of government because individuals can NOT protect other individuals as well as a regional or federal government can! .......Government 101.
