[QUOTE="BobbyV, post: 3355771, member: 32629"] First let me say that I'm thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to work 100% from home right now. I am able to get everything done that needs to get done without wasting my time driving back and forth to the office. I only wish more people in my building could do it. Any businesses currently closed should be able to open back up . . . if the business or community is concerned with following some set of magic guidelines in order to do so then they should follow them if they wish. If a business determines that continuing telework is an option and that's something they want to do then they should do so. I think many businesses will do just that for quite a while. Holding large outdoor sporting events should also move forward . . . . as long as the athletes involved are kept as safe from infection as possible. Of course I don't really care one way or the other since attending said sporting events lost it's luster to me many years ago. All of those people whining about folks not wearing a mask or not staying home or being selfish because they're bored from staying home, etc. drive me crazy. I have to bite my tongue on many occasion. Especially those who feel like they need to insult everyone who disagrees with them. What I've learned is that apparently a lot of folks in the US are absolutely some filthy people and/or live in filthy conditions conducive to the rapid spread of diseases (all sorts of diseases). I have no interest in being tested for the virus or antibodies. I have no interest right now (that could change) in being required to get yet another vaccination (I have to get the flu shot every year). So . . . to me, "open it back" up means looking at the risks of "staying closed" vs those of the various diseases floating around our country and allowing folks to do what's best for them and their communities. And as insensitive as it sounds I don't think we'll be better off in the long run staying closed longer just to appease some folks who are at higher risk than others. [/QUOTE]
