What services do these people offer? My household is dependent on a service income.

(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.

They are also dying at a rate per million higher than we are. It was double the rate, a day ago.
