Mall opening is one thing, but how many stores inside it open is another. Most see maybe 20% open day one, 40% open is what's projected after two weeks in many cases. The issue of what to do about clothes is a tough one. Most stores saying they will wait 24 hours until putting them back on racks is one thing, but what about at the discount stores where everything is on massive racks for people to touch and then return to the rack? At the end of the day, clothing is the one thing that's somewhat resistant to online shopping pressures but if the stores can't solve these issues then even that may migrate to online.

Why do you care, you're not leaving the hole you dug months ago. Just stay buried for the rest of your life that way we have one less liberal to deal with.

The current right wing argument. "It's my body my choice". LOL Pure ignorance
"It's the media's fault" . Pure ignorance

To be honest, I live in a pretty nice hole. 4 bedroom 2.5 bath spacious townhouse located in a very nice area. And I plan on coming out when it's safe, my need for being healthy and staying alive is stronger than my need to hang in a crowded bar getting drunk, but to each his own

Losers, but it's their bodies and it's their choice that they don't care about getting others sick. RepubliCon losers. Very selfish ideology!Yup, that's what they said about everything, it took 45 min for this to happen in WI yesterday.

I dont wonder that.
It's very sad what's happening for the hapless left, every narrative they've put out is being smashed, Too dangerous to open - nope, too scary to fly - nope, lockdowns need to remain until a vaccine - nope, even if you open up no one will come - nope. Then there was the we need a nationwide shutdown or we're screwed - nope, we were going to run out of ventilators - nope and of course the whopper of whoopers - that the entire hospital system would collapse - nope.
Right now their latest one is we need universal mask usage - they've lost on everything else so they want to make people miserable, i dont think that'll fly either.

You sound very unhappy and bitter.

Huh? I live in a kick ass place, and when I do venture out, I do so in a brand new 2020 civic that currently has less than 1,000 miles on it, I'm eating well and feeling very healthy right now, the only thing that sucks for me is I don't make money if there's no sports to bet on, I haven't been paid since the beginning of March, but I'm also fortunate in that I don't live paycheck to paycheck, considering what we're all dealing with, I'm doing better than most, and I don't take that for granted. Just because I don't feel the need to rush out to a crowded bar doesn't mean I'm unhappy or bitter, just careful and cautious

How about you give an actual opinion on this. Here’s a start, you can answer these.
- Do you agree with the lockdown in Illinois at this time?
- If you owned a business that was shut down by the state, would you want to reopen? What if it were 100 miles away from Chicago in a low risk area?
- would you look down at people who want to go back to work because they may lose everything?

Media is the Democrat party, you're learning.

I agree with the lockdown in Illinois. Lets look at the arguement. This virus is half a million times more deadly than so called illegals. You argue to spend half a trillion on the wall to keep so called illegals out while at the same time arguing to open the country up allowing a deadly virus to spread. Imo something is very wrong with right wing ideology. I do get they're racist, white nationalist and science deniers. But it's troubling. Facts matter, science matters.

So what about the other questions?
What if an illegal brought in the virus?
Here's a science question since you want to go there. Gov Nit-Whitmer says her decisions are data-driven based on science. Why should aboutions be legal and other surgeries not? Do you have the data that she used to make this decision?
I bet you can't answer all of these without a slam on the right.

1. Its more likely an American would give the virus to a so called illegal. Imo
2. Abortions must be excuted within a certain timeframe by law. If you defer them they will become illegal.
That's all you get for now. Take care.
It’ll never be safe. The flu and other diseases will always be around. Most learn how to adapt instead of fearing everything.
Chicago and surrounding suburbs should be shut down but the rest open.

Same argument can be made with abortions in Michigan. Meanwhile real surgeries are put on hold for “my choice” on a one-night stand.
Pritzker may go the way of Newsome in California (excluded L.A. County) and move most of Illinois except for Cook County into Phase 3 of his reopening strategy.
