Happy Monday y’all. I am on work day 2 of 3 and just getting a little bit of time in on the treadmill before I have to start getting ready for work.
Here in Minnesota, as of TODAY many businesses are opening back up with reduced capacity and social distancing measures. Many also with reduced hours. This includes restaurants, gyms, bars, breweries and probably many other types of businesses. One thing of note is that national parks are starting to open up again!
Here at least, the businesses are not opening because COVID/Corona has gone away but because the businesses need to survive and can’t stay shut down forever. I agree with the sentiment but do believe that many folks are interpreting it as though COVID is going away and to be more reckless than maybe they should be.
Are things looking similarly for you? What types of businesses are open or opening soon (and what is yo ur location?)
I am personally not sure if I am ready yet to “see the world”. I have been saving a lot of money not going shopping, going to bars, etc- but in the same breath I am itching to go on a road trip. Out of state. I just can’t figure out if I feel “right” about doing that or not.
What are things looking like for you? Stay safe everyone!

I’m in Virginia we are in phase 2 as of Friday so a few things opened up. Restaurant opened open but not all depending on the size of there location many places have remained curbside online or thrive through. Bigger food places opened with half to 30% capacity

It's the same thing happening around here. We don't have a choice but to open the businesses so the economy will not die.

things are slowly opening up here too but I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere. I'm still scared of the virus out there

Many in our city are still using masks, disinfectants, and social separation. Many businesses are opening but with strict rules, as to how many people can enter at one time. Our numbers have dropped greatly, because of the safety precautions that most are taking. Myself, I'm still not putting my guard down for a while. Which businesses? I'm not sure.
