The burden on medical workers is reduced when non-essentials stay off the streets.
The burden on grocery workers is reduced when normal grocery shopping is supplemented by guard members who are suited up for their safety and properly trained to safely perform the delivery of food, medicine and supplies.
The burden on police is reduced when hardly anyone is on the streets.
No one putting others at risk when anti-maskers are forced to stay inside.
Utility workers suited up with PPE. Some can even monitor grid systems from their home.
Landlords being paid as usual via electronic banking with funds provided via governmental relief.
Necessary purchases still being made online and orders being fulfilled and delivered by properly suited-up individuals who are at low risk.
Products still being produced by suited and daily tested individuals.
People still able to perform their normal jobs at home whenever possible.
Nobody walking around with a half-ass mask not covering their nose.
Rights and responsibilities go hand in hand. If you don't want to take responsibility for wearing a mask, then your "right" is diluted. Your "right" is diluted when it infringes on another persons right, especially during a health crises.
Small business losses to individual owners being mitigated by relief efforts provided by the Government.
Money provided to school systems that allows them to retrofit facilities in order to mitigate residual risks still evident after the curve is flattened as much as possible.
Financial assistance provided to hospitals to cover costs for treatment for both Covid and non-Covid related treatment, so the people who lost their jobs and insurance are not financially devastated.
Bring in the Army Corps. of Engineers to handle difficult logistical concerns.
Sacrifice, governmental financial support, draconian measures when absolutely needed...all toward the common goal of returning to a semi-normal state.
The Government caused the problem, they continue to exasperate it, and slow thinking dumb shits on the street cannot even be trusted to help to fix it. This bullshit needs to stop.
