The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[Jack Lambert]

Depends on what you mean by required. We are a 2 income family with 2 kids in college, so an income is needed. But, when your choice is working, endangering your health, and endangering your clients; or not working and losing your client base, losing your place of business, and wiping out your personal finances - it's not fun either way. And don't give me the "but they work in flu season every year" - it's not at all the same.

There are a few legit businesses that should be closed because of the likelihood and risk to those involved - massage therapists are one. And I'm one who thinks that a lot of the closures have currently gone too far.

I have come to a point that everything should be opened up. I have not seen my 79 year old mom in five weeks. I carry groceries and leave them on her porch. I would love to give her a hug but I will not. I keep my distance from her. I will keep doing it until it is safe for her. American need to go back to work. All Americans but they need to be mindful and if they want to go to a massage that's thier decision they are making but it is thier decision to make not the goverment. I have not missed a days pays. I am working from home but I can understand what many people are going through. They want to work and thier risk of dying form this thing is really low and probably won't happen but to them losing everything is a guarantee if they don't go back to work .
