   The real issue is that you cannot stay at home without an income, and if you   
   go to   
   work, you will die.   
      
   The government's totalitarian approach, whether towards beaches, churches, or   
   of   
   making it an issue of rule and control, rather than of protecting employees,   
   is a   
   distraction that detracts from the real issue, and gives people something to   
   fight   
   and protest about; that COVID is a clear and present danger, that will kill   
   you,   
   if you go to work, but that to stay at home will likewise kill you to have no   
   food   
   and housing.   
      
   It is extremely concerning that the government is now saying it is safe to go   
   to   
   work, that "the economy is opening," and that things somehow are safer or have   
   somehow changed.  Things are only now more risky than when the original stay at   
   home "orders" were issued.   
      
   Whether or not the government says you can or cannot go to work, it is still   
   not   
   safe to go to work.  And whether or not the government say you can or cannot   
   go to   
   work, it still does not work to stay at home.   
      
   It is extremely concerning that many Americans are between a rock and a hard   
   place, that they cannot work with the danger of COVID, and they cannot stay at   
   home without incomes, and not work.   
      
   Additionally, if everyone returns to work, the healthcare costs will be   
   enormous.   
   Better to give people money, to stay at home, see if they find additional work   
   from home, as well as essential activities, and more work move online for the   
   Internet Age.   
      
   If everyone returns to work, the Daily New Infection rate will no doubt   
   increase.   
      
   The economy is "opening up" solely for economic reasons.  It is about to be   
   catastrophic.  An economic plan is necessary to save our nation.  Addressing   
   COVID   
   could severely cost our nation, but that is what we must face.  Death by   
   lotto, or   
   tax to the citizen directly is undesirable.  The whole cost should go into the   
   National Debt, the negative side of which is inflation and higher interest   
   rates.
