COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

My wife went to Lowes in Gonzales on Saturday. She said it was the most cars she's ever seen at that location. It was like Lakeside shopping center during the Christmas rush. Oh, and maybe 25% of the folks had masks.

What good is it to have all of these small businesses closed for safety reasons, yet a big box store can reap the financial rewards and the virus (theoretically) can continue to spread amoungst the crowds. That's why I've somewhat taken a different look at this lately. If you are gonna shut down, do it for real. Otherwise, start opening back up in a controlled manner. If there's a concerning spike in cases where health care is getting swamped, take the necessary steps at that time. At this point, our "lockdown" is simply a half assed effort.
