i'd stop paying your biz loan and possibly your building lease and pay the employees

Such a bad idea. What about the employees of the landlord?

you would have to have a discussion with him but you need to protect your business and employees

The employees get unemployment. Landlords don't

It sounds like many of this generation aren't taking this too seriously.

And I'd be fine denying acute care services to them as a direct result of those

When would that ever happen in reality?

BlackBart

Oh it wouldn't. I didn't say I thought it would, just that I'd be fine if it did.

Best to not be dramatic or use hyperbole which is most of what you wrote

Interesting. Maybe the least dramatic and hyperbole thing I've written in

Driving in a car isn't the same as being in a restaurant, gym or movie theater

True. But why do old people get in a car. Just to cruise the neighborhood?
