Its extremely peculiar. 10% of the country is unemployed.

Business and museums are shutting down for good.

Cities are emptying out.

Hugging another human has been demonized and is considered irresponsible.

People are getting fined for not wearing facial coverings.

Our way of life has been completely hijacked by fear.

Things are very unstable and then we have an election.

Yep, if you're either one of those categories why would you even leave quarantine? You could die!

OTOH, if you're not in one of one categories you have very little to worry about.
