What I don& #39;t get about this conversation: They could "open up" every movie theater in America tomorrow and still nobody would go.

The things that are currently closed and I would consider using in the absence of a rigorous testing & isolation regime are certain parks and outdoor spaces around the city.

I have tickets for a Bikini Kill show in November and I& #39;d hate to miss it, but I& #39;m not going to go in the midst of a pandemic raging out of control and I doubt the band would play anyway.

It& #39;s arguably *easier* for businesses to survive if the government orders them closed and accepts responsibility for keeping them alive than if the President just says "we& #39;re open for business" and everything stays half empty.
