Unless there really is a magic money tree nearby, we can’t stay shut down forever. The resulting economic calamity will eventually negatively affect people like you, me and some others on this thread who are actually taking appropriate precautions. It’s bad enough that the virus itself can cause supply disruptions (meat plants, etc.), why should continued shutdowns disrupt them further in some indirect manner?

Why should we unnecessarily suffer because we can’t fix stupid?

We’re boycotting unnecessary expenditures until this is settled down.

No restaurants, no entertainments, nothing extra.

I find it very ‘interesting’ that just as everything is opening up and businesses are having to disinfect surfaces regularly...suddenly appears a study that indicates it can’t be spread via surfaces...even though every OTHER coronavirus CAN be spread via surfaces.

I expect big money to pull further shenanigans like this.

Not knowing if we will have a million dollar hospital bill or a long term chronic illness should we get this (and oddly enough, STILL nobody is talking about that), we find we can’t spend anything over and above basic living expenses for the forseeable future.

You can open it back up, but you can’t make us spend money we may need later on.

Why should we stop trying to fix stupid?

You’re ignoring the fact that although economic slowdowns cause economic problems, ignoring the recommendations causes problems that are far worse.

I’m going to continue to try to fix stupid. I’m contenting with those who don’t seem to know that life is more important than money, but I don’t see any alternative but to keep trying to fix stupid.
