close retail, these companies out here making us work and telling us not to worry about the virus and that we need to stay business as usual.

I mean most of the young healthy people that get it will probably be fine, but it's not only the risk to the sick and elderly, but the enormous implications to hospitals if they need to treat large numbers of people with either just oxygen and medication, or intubation and ventilation, and the worry being there won't be enough resources to cope...

I think it's clear the Horse has left the barn. It's time for American's to pray to the one and only person that can fix all of this. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords...Jesus Christ the Savior of all. Romans 10:13  "EVERYONE who calls on the name of the Lord WILL BE SAVED."  Psalm 46:1  "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble."  Isaiah 41:10  "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Jesus...we need You!  This is too big for us at this point in time.

I think they should start selling bulk items right off the back of tractor trailers to elevate crowded stores. And would save time from the store personal in restocking key items.

Oh, what a great idea 500 or more, I'm relieved. 2:37 and three blame president Trump for your incompetence. And that is real tragedy producers and performers are stunned, hope they recover soon.
