The idea of being able to socially distance and work from home is one that is very much rooted in white collar and office jobs mindset. Here is a paraphrasing of a conversation I had with my cousin who works as a research scientist for vaccines(not COVID), I am a production engineer at a manufacturing facility. Cousin:"If we just locked down everything for a month or two, Covid would be gone" Me:"I don't think we have food in the house to last 2 months" C:"Well, grocery stores would still have to stay open I guess..." So we need food, that keeps grocery stores open. Need delivery to the store, that keeps gas stations open. Need to repair cars, garages are now open. Keep unpacking things and you begin to see that there is a lot that is essential. Now, you could help limit things by saying only 1 grocery store in 5 mile radius can be open but who gets to pick which store? Keep the Whole Foods open or the Kroger?
