It was done in order to slow the spread of covid-19: I'd have thought that intent was obvious.

It remains to be seen as to how many businesses were in fact "destroyed."

Did it? Where's the proof? Most of the victims seem to be in nursing/retirement facilities. Did having healthy Americans shelter in place stop the virus from these facilities? Most of the victims seem to be over 65 years of age and have an underlying condition. It does not appear that quarantining and sheltering in place was an effective strategy in dealing with the most at-risk victims.

You are kidding, right? I personally know dozens of small business who are unsure as to whether they will be coming back. To me, this is a very insensitive statement. I'm curious, do you own a small business, work for the company or have a public sector job?

Ever hear the fraise, "beating a dead horse"? That's what's going on in this thread.

As probably the worst offender, I apologize. My sympathies lie with small business owners, who invested both in capital and sweat equity in creating something from nothing. I cannot help it when I see someone who dismisses the notion that someone's life may be destroyed by our unconstitutional actions in effectively taking their business.

Many, many more people are suffering from loss of income and business than from the virus. This will be my last post on the Wuhan Bat Flu. I think I've made my point, and as you said, there's nothing really else to say. Plus, I need to concentrate on work!

I agree, Major. My heart truly goes out to those small businesses owners who had to close.

I'm waiting for ApS to profess his next post to be last post on Covid 19. Do you think I'll live that long?
