There was a thread last week calling out people that weren't in favor of shutting things down. I think it got deleted. I do remember a poster stating that dining in was the most dangerous thing one can do. According to this article, only 4% of Covid cases are related to dining in. This article really explains how much of an impact these shut downs are to people.
The author of the editorial is clearly denying the science and wants to fill her own pockets by irresponsibly opening. What is wrong with a pause? The Governor clearly knows how to mitigate a global pandemic. Businesses can afford to pause for as long as it takes, sorry they won't be able to charter a yacht this year. Greedy business owners.

Did you even read the article ? You seemed to have focused on the business owner, not sure why, and ignored the result of the "pause".
43 people are now laid off and on unemployment, at just one restaurant. A total of 700 people will be laid off from all their places. And this is just at one chain. Start adding up all the others.
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" .

LOL. So you could go without income and still pay all of your bills/taxes "for as long as it takes"?

Maybe large businesses can weather the storm for a long time but certainly not their employees or small businesses. Too much fear and over reaction is destroying people's lives when those who die from the virus are relatively small.

Time for the Senate to get off the pot and vote to extend unemployment insurance.
The Relief bill has been sitting on Mitch’s desk Since May waiting for him to put it to a vote.

Thank you for sharing this. It really illustrates the costs of shutting down. Something else I wish more people were concerned about because it will also lead to a loss of lives.
Reading that article it sounds like malls have been given a pass, I feel sorry for the restaurant owners but I don't imagine many were going out to eat to begin with. What are the options when the infection rate increases, this virus is really surging nationwide and we can expect it to get worse when the Thanksgiving gatherings add to the problem.
The 4% number traced back to restaurants was from restaurant owners also depends on accuracy of tracing.
