Millions of people need to stay out of stores for months. What would you have them do?
Starve in their homes. Many of these same people live in rural areas without delivery service.

those who are attempting to cope with it the best way they can.
You might want to use your considerable energies to go out and serve your community in this time of need
rather than ranting on a discussion board.
