We need to return to work. This shutdown is more harmful to the American people than the virus itself. People are losing businesses and jobs. We do not want to be dependent on the government and have our children and children’s children pay for it. Every business is essential if it pays a family’s bills.

Some experts say only high-risk people or those who exhibit symptoms of covid-19 should continue to shelter in place. Special considerations can be made for those high-risk/sick people, like the ability to work and school from home, free delivery, fees waived, etc. Many people who get the virus only experience mild to moderate symptoms.

The numbers of those getting sick or dying are constantly changing. And don’t think we aren’t aware that people aren’t all dying from the coronavirus but other natural causes or otherwise, yet covid-19 gets the blame.

At every turn, we are losing more civil liberties. It’s time for the American people to get back to the American way of life. We chose freedom over fear.
