The rest of us should be able to live our lives normally, which means going to work and running our businesses. Yes, there will be a risk, but isn't there risks now? They haven't gone away because of shelter in place. I went to BJ's and Shaw's yesterday, and there's a good chance that I touched something that may contain the virus. We have mail and packages delivered to our home.
I don't have any pre-existing conditions. I'm healthy, at 66, and I want to keep it that way. I'm no good to anyone if I'm sick or even dead.
