This is a numbers game. We want most stores closed to limit the number of people out and engaging with each other. There will be fuzzy edge cases such as large retailers like Walmart and Target being open and selling particular items, while the stores that specialize in those items are closed. That's fine. The goal is not some sort of retail fairness, but public health.
