Did it? Where's the proof? Most of the victims seem to be in nursing/retirement facilities. Did having healthy Americans shelter in place stop the virus from these facilities? Most of the victims seem to be over 65 years of age and have an underlying condition. It does not appear that quarantining and sheltering in place was an effective strategy in dealing with the most at-risk victims.

You are kidding, right? I personally know dozens of small business who are unsure as to whether they will be coming back. To me, this is a very insensitive statement. I'm curious, do you own a small business, work for the company or have a public sector job?
