Protect workers; require masks
 

One argument for "reopening" has always been that residents should be allowed the freedom to choose their level of risk. That somewhat faulty logic can work for consumers, but not for the hourly and low wage workers who we depend on for manning establishments that provide us with food, entertainment, gyms, daycare, etc. When their place of business reopens, they will at some point not have a choice-- they must venture out to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. It would be grossly irresponsible and immoral to ask them to do so without protections in place. This should include mask wearing requirements for employees and clients alike. Businesses should also be tasked with developing staggered schedules and utilizing telework as much as possible. Please listen to the science and greater good over vocal minorities who have been brainwashed by Plandemic and the like. This should be a public health and basic decency issue, not a political one.
