If they close all take-out and delivery restaurants now like McDonald's and others there will be riots because the supermarkets are out of all frozen meals, vegetables, very little fish, chicken and meat in the freezers. Just leaving supermarkets and pharmacies open would be a disaster. In addition because they are the only two places people can go they would be overcrowded resulting in more close contact and the spread of the virus.
Fuck a lot of these places. Let them go under. Somebody else will come along and start soemthing new. These cock suckers want to charge $15-20 an entree and then put a hot dinner in a cheap styrofoam container. You can’t pay $10 cents extra per container to get some plastic? You work in the food industry and don’t know that’s a health hazard or you simply don’t give a fuck. Problem with a lot of these takeout restaurant spots right now. They don’t give a flying fuck about you but we are suppose to keep them afloat. Nah I’ll stick with Cava
Take out almost everywhere. Little Italian place that’s local I ordered last night as that’s the only means of supporting his family , good food and good prices
I was glad to see a constant stream of customers picking up from him
the Walmart at 7:00 am opening was packed again. Seemed everyone was over 60 in there. Still no TP. Lol
Many "young people" have preexisting conditions.
Moreover, this CDC report says:
"These preliminary data also demonstrate that severe illness leading to hospitalization, including ICU admission and death, can occur in adults of any age with COVID-19."

"As of March 16, a total of 4,226 COVID-19 cases had been reported in the United States, with reports increasing to 500 or more cases per day beginning March 14 (Figure 1). Among 2,449 patients with known age, 6% were aged ≥85, 25% were aged 65–84 years, 18% each were aged 55–64 years and 45–54 years, and 29% were aged 20–44 years...

Did you read what was posted. I said "the saving of the economy in the long term game":
"The governments' safety measures in this WWIII (humanity vs invisible bugs) resulting in a temporary economic decline are not merely for the purpose of sparing "elder life" in the short term, but for the saving of human lives in general, of all ages, both in the short & long term, as well as the health & quality of humanity, and also the saving of the economy in the long term game.
Without the present government guidelines, orders & such being followed, & "business as usual" how many would've become infected in the next year? 10, 20, 50% or more? (To say nothing of the loss of heath, associated loss of quality of life & death toll). How much worse would that be for the economy?
The governments, backed by science experts opinions, are gambling (taking a shot) that their present course of action is +EV, i.e. offers the best chance of success."
You're like a person crying because another person is getting cut, not having the foresight to realize that it's a life saving procedure to remove a cancer. If the cancer (COVID-19) had not been cut out as it is being cut out, but allowed free rein to grow as you wish it had been, the results to the economy could have been far worse. Not just a little temporary discomfort to the economy from its being cut.
The government does not approve of death for the sake of business profitability & has never stated any such thing. But it does value individual liberty & allow individual citizens to make free will choices & have the liberty to take risks with their life if they want to. Government values the life of all of its citizens, from the homeless to those on their death beds. It's only the Nazi & Hitler types that don't.
See my comment above.
Death is inevitable no matter what mode of transportation government allows, whether it is cars, buses, trains, planes, skytrains, horses, chariots or walking. Shall we go back to before the invention of the wheel? Would the people let the government ban motor vehicles or reduce the speed limit to 10 miles an hour?
