IL is one of the 2 states that's considered to be in the "not reopening" yet phase...and yet golf courses were opened a few weeks ago...retail stores are open for curbside purchases so the small local boutiques run Facebook lives to show off their merchandise where people can easily see it and pick stuff out (not perfect, but it is still open)....the only things I can think of that aren't open in some capacity are barbershops/salons, restaurants dining rooms, and schools....and honeslty, none of those 3 should be open yet. Even our hospitals have resumed some of their stuff for non emergency procedures.
Yeah. Lots of unwarranted bitching and moaning on here. The reopening has been aggressive if anything.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 7:29 pmIL is one of the 2 states that's considered to be in the "not reopening" yet phase...and yet golf courses were opened a few weeks ago...retail stores are open for curbside purchases so the small local boutiques run Facebook lives to show off their merchandise where people can easily see it and pick stuff out (not perfect, but it is still open)....the only things I can think of that aren't open in some capacity are barbershops/salons, restaurants dining rooms, and schools....and honeslty, none of those 3 should be open yet.

Unless schools are fully open come August, none of it means squat.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 7:59 pmYeah. Lots of unwarranted bitching and moaning on here.

Oh absolutely. But the positive effects of that would likely take years to manifest. And it is certainly the case that the hardest hit would be the families already struggling to get by with two modest incomes.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 7:22 am Might be some positives that come out of kids getting to spend more time with their parent(s).
You're right. And that's one of the primary reasons we need to be smart about re-opening. We can't afford a massive spike because people want festivals and monster truck rallies or other large gatherings. I think some level of sacrifices still need to be made...albeit less than what it was in April.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 1:30 amUnless schools are fully open come August, none of it means squat.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 7:59 pmYeah.

That's a good way to sum up my general thoughts on the matter: to the extent each person, each family, each neighborhood, each company, can minimize person to person contact without materially impacting their life and livelihood, they should.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 8:46 amYou're right.
