Food is essential. Water and electricity are essential. Going to the movies or eating out is nice but certainly not essential. There's nothing clueless about wanting to keep the essentials running while limiting the non-essentials.

I don't pretend to know where the correct balance lies between injecting liquidity and reopening things but there's certainly nothing clueless about doing so in a calculated manner.

There absolutely is essential work, and at this time, until we know more, until we have both some predictive power and some reliable treatments at the individual level, this work is hazardous, barely indistinguishable from war. Those doing that work should have all of the support and benefits that come from choosing that sacrifice, putting themselves in harm's way. That we are not treating those roles that way is barbaric.

I think you overstepped the bounds of civility at the end there.

Lol, that's a poor, contextless insult, and pointless as well because you read into my comment things I did not say and do not believe.

Note that I said "safely". Essential roles are as hazardous as war and deserve the support and equipment that that entails. We are not doing that, and it is barbaric.

I'm not going bother with your dismissal of a government providing liquidity. It is clear you have no idea what that means, or how the financial system works. I can only recommend that you learn.

Good luck to you, elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes and groves...
