People are right.
If the big box stores can be open, the smaller ones can too.
There’s no need for the shut down to continue and this stringing people along with *two more weeks* and then another *two more weeks*, ad nauseum, is not going to fly much longer.
I know! One of the few good things about CT (and the northeast in general) is that we have a wonderful variety of supermarkets and smaller, family-owned food markets. Those ARE open (at least in my area) and are doing fine - social distancing and all that.
Also many very small family-owned liquor stores are open for business.
I know of a tiny General Store in a town I won't name (I don't want them to get in trouble!) that has been open as usual the entire time during this pandemic. They have a sign on the door that say only 5 customers can come in at a time. At this store, you can buy sandwiches, etc. inside, then sit outside at one of their picnic tables. Just like 'normal'.
So why can't other small stores / businesses open in CT?? Connecticut is FUBAR.
