it's easy to say what "we" should do. But it's not "we" unless you've taken an equal hit during this time. I've lost 80% of my income in the last 4 months have you? *
*(I'm not saying you specifically SP - I just hear this shit a lot from people who's paycheques haven't changed, and for whom the gym closing is simply an inconvenience - as opposed to the gym owners who may never recover)

By the same token, are you* high risk? It's equally easy to be more concerned about losing some income or a business when you aren't the "we" with a high chance of being killed by this. If not, are you okay with increasing the number of your fellow citizens who are killed or have long term health complications just to protect your paycheque or your business?
* same disclaimer, not you specifically. But of those focused on the financial aspect, how many have lost a close family member?
