It’s a very tepid “lockdown” and will do very little. Why do you need to build a house right now? Why is the marijuana store essential? Why home goods? It should just be hospitals, pharmacies, pure food stores (not like Walmart or target) and gas stations.

In a lot of rural areas Walmart or the local gas station might be the only thing around for miles. But I agree with you that this lockdown is too sporadic and lacking in enforcement to do much good.

Here in NY - the banks want you to make an appt to see someone inside otherwise you are to use the ATM. My parents don't have an ATM card as a lot of other elderly who always preferred to do their transactions in a bank.
A local bakery wasn't allowed to stay open because they didn't bake bread - just pastries and cakes - but I saw on FB that they are now making bread and rolls so they could stay op - and yet - the cookie factory down the way is open as is the chocolate factory I used to work for. That made me wonder what the state actually thought essentials were. Obviously I see things differently.
Id like to know how people are expected to stay 6ft apart on public transportation?
People aren't exactly packing themselves onto trains and buses right now. Here in the Chicago area CTA ridership is down 75%. I don't have a figure for the commuter trains to/from the suburbs but I've seen pics and video footage of rush hour trains usually packed to standing-room-only have maybe 5 riders per car.

Alcoholics need alcohol to avoid potentially lethal withdrawal symptoms. What if your plumbing breaks - no hardware stores? Walmart has most items as well as food. It is the one store that absolutely needs to be open. America's general store.
