I think people should be trusted to make good decisions about their own safety. I have big problems with the government overstepping their authority in order to enforce their idea of public safety.

Business owners are smart, adaptable people. Instead of muzzling them, I would have like to have seen governors let them come up with ways they could operate safely until the danger is passed. If grocery stores, delivery services and home improvement stores can do it, so can others. Even restaurants would figure it out. Although it seems odd to have to eat from behind a mask.

Those "essential" businesses never stopped operating. They adjusted to changing information. And the spikes have leveled off while all that was happening. I think if people were unleashed, we'd see some amazing creativity in developing adaptations that include the safety guidelines.
