Agree.

People that conclude ‘shutdown didn’t work’ don’t realize that we weren’t really ‘shutdown’ like they were in China.

It’s a travesty that we sacrificed the small businesses for the sake of Amazon and walmart.

Not too many small businesses were still out there competing with Walmart. Those were all closed many years ago. But small party stores without gas pumps certainly are getting wacked now. And Amazon actually used to be the distributor for many small businesses. Dont know the situation now.

I agree. We would never *really* shut down because our govt won’t use draconian measures. It was more of a slow down. I have been pleased that our local mom and pops have been doing more business than the big stores... people looking for less crowds
