  1. So again the state is picking winners and losers. Try going to Lowe’s Menards or Home Depot on Saturday and they are packed, but our local businesses lose out. When this is over we should really clean house in government and start again. Not good

    1. What Alan is saying is correct. Several of us went to different hardware stores last weekend and it was like Christmas traffic. Grocery store traffic and the warehouse clubs have been very busy when I’ve been there. Half not wearing masks and hardly any gloves. The Menard’s I was at had a 300 customer limit because I heard them counting and talking about it while I waited to return something. They were staying close to that limit while I was standing there. I’m very puzzled as to why it’s ok for some to be doing brisk business while other business’s are not even allowed to be open? I haven’t had a haircut in several months and that’s the type of business that usually has less than 10 people inside anyway. Let’s get sensible policies in place now and let people get back to work!

  2. It’s scary that not many people speak up on this subject and acknowledge the possible outcome with this policy. For myself, I have a tooth infection and can’t get a dentist to answer the phone

    1. Yep, elections have consequences……look at the fool in the White House.

  3. Question: If Simon opens the malls is it mandatory that we all show up or is it a choice? Was closing the economy down to flatten the curve and not overwhelm the hospital system or for big brother to make us “SAFE”?

  4. I work close to riverview throughout this ordeal at no point was the hospital packed to the rafters.
    They make out the hospitals and Healthcare systems were at max or beyond capacity but we never saw it except in big cities because every hospital would send patients to a single point.
    CBS just got caught faking coverage of a testing line where they and the hospital salted it with hospital workers.
