It seems too dangerous to send kids to schools or day care. I am not ready to see my grandchildren return to the close contact situation they were in.

Open drive-in movies and tennis courts.

It seems too dangerous for workers to stand right next to each other on factory assembly lines, like in meat processing plants. Factories must re-do their normal processes to meet distancing requirements.

It is not fair that big box stores can sell anything including non-essential things like jewelry and home furnishings and design items, when my friend, who owns a small business, a jewelry store, is forced to remain closed, while his rent accumulates. Either stop box stores from selling non-essentials or allow small businesses to open to sell the products the big box stores are already selling.

Every grocery should wipe the surfaces where food is put after each customer. Costco and Trader Joes are already doing it. Every grocery should wipe down each cart between users.

There should be limits on the amount of people who can be in a facility. Walmart is doing that. Lowes is doing that. Aldi and Trader Joes and Costco are doing it and so should every small business, particularly bars and restaurants.

Buffet restaurants should not be allowed to operate.

I am a gym addict. BC, I went 5-6 times a week. And I play racquetball. So I'd expect to wear long sleeves, sweats, gloves and a mask while playing. I think it is harder to make it safe to use machines or free weights. Exercise classes should be doable with proper distancing. Gyms should employ extra people to wipe down equipment.

People should be hired to check up on venues to be sure they are doing as required, safety-wise. More new jobs.

People should be hired to check for price gouging, or there should be rewards for reporting price gouging.

All parks should be opened. Want to walk run or ride in a park? Find unpaved trails if you want to encounter less people. When I go on dirt trails I see one tenth the number of people I see on paved trails.

People who live together do not need to maintain distance. But otherwise, distancing should be maintained.
