Yesterday, I had to drop off something at Fedex and Sam's Club is right next door. I went, waited on line, and got close to what I needed in a very pedestrian 25 minutes. Absent the cops and masks, it would have been close to normal.

I've enjoyed quite leisurely wine and beer shopping every two or three days or so at the Whole Foods. All the same choices; I'm just masked now.

The only thing they can be protesting (other than not being able to go to the beauty parlor) is lack of income. We have a service economy that has obviously been crushed. But, sorry human (even moron) life is more important.

What services do these people offer? My household is dependent on a service income. I bought the extra protective gear, we're having the place bleached from floor to ceiling and patients are still showing up, in masks. (I'm running it from the finance side for the moment, so I'm hanging out there a couple days a week, apologizing to people who are still showing up for appointments. It's listed as an essential business, so many people think it's still open.)
It'll suck to have be extra careful, but we've got to do it to reopen. That's a new cost of business. These protestors seem to want to follow Sweden's lead. Self-responsibility. OK. Well, that's fine. But here's the thing about Sweden:
They are also socially distancing. And they tend to be better educated than most Americans, as is demonstrated from the type of people at these protests. They are also more fit, not eating a diet of shit all the time. They understand responsibility. Too many Americans do not.
