Ok, so what is wrong with employee's having a "pause"? Sorry, they won't be able to buy groceries, pay utilities, pay rent/mortgage, loans, lotto tickets, drugs, cig's, booze, another vehicle. Mooching employee's.

Gee, thanks for letting me know that.

President Weak Foot will shut us down next year, after he is sworn in.

You cannot possibly be serious.

Nobody could be so obliviously tone deaf.

No one with any brains and common sense is going to be going out to eat in COVID hot-spots anyways even if they did stay open. A drive-thru and/or curbside pickup is easy enough. Shut it down.

This isn't rocket science

Seriously, these people just think we can just continue printing money forever without severe consequences for the future.

This article really explains how much of an impact these shut downs are to people.

There are a lot of things more dangerous than dining in. A short list is:

- Singing in a choir.

- Attending an indoor sporting event where people are cheering and shouting.

- Going to a bar.

- Indoor church services.

Some events need to be avoided. If you have to go to church, do it outdoors. Jesus does not need padded pews. Avoid indoor situations where people are flapping their vocal cords without masks.

If it were not for the idiots who refuse to practice contagion control, the number of infections would be a small fraction and our lives would be essentially normal. Pay a little now or pay a lot later.

And then it keeps going from there. Now suppliers are going to be effected. Trucking companies effected. The chain that these "pauses" effects just keeps going.

It's a shame that you aren't looking at the bigger picture, the ones these shut downs hurts the most are the "worker bee's" .

1 in 6 could go hungry this year.

I was under the impression that the poster's comment was completely sarcastic...
