@matz0 will you man up and take the challenge? Mr It's Just The Flu? Hmmm? And the good doctor is still waiting for you to cite your "studies" proving it's "just the flu. " Tick tock.

@seton you can book a domestic flight and travel. Who is stopping you?

@lathery80 I think @matz0 just needs to sterilize his insides by drinking some bleach or something.

Answer 7

Keep in mind the governor cannot cannot cannot close your business he does not make laws and zero constitutional authority. Should the legislature pass such a law its still unconstitutional. We the people are both agreeable and reasonable and of course want to do the right thing. The original intent was not to overload hospitals done! Should a business say you need one shoe two shoes or no shoes to enter that is their choice and THEY can limit your accessibility. If you are afraid or have a compromised person in your life stay home and quarantine yourself for as long as you care too. Have respect for people that need to pay the bills, get Healthcare and feed themselves. If they choose to open their business fantastic let them. How easy was it for the government to take this much control this fast. At a minimum realize by the people for the people is our freedom if we can keep it.

@behlau Oh it has definitely flattened, that doesn't mean it is flat (we are looking to flatten exponential growth). The models issued towards the end of April did call for a peak in mid-May, looks like that might be about right (I was skeptical).  

---

@bubal10 use common sense ! People like you are the problem .  

---

@barreto so long as hospitals have capacity the curve is where it needs to be.  

---

@charlyncharm I supposed although prolonging it gives us more time to both learn about the virus and potential treatments like remdesivir, etc and potentially save more lives.  

---

@anuradhapura88 open up your mind and realize people have a tendency to push what the believe. What about. Guys what about to folks with prostate cancer waiting for surgeries. How about 2nd and 3rd world countries that started doing a much better job feeding themselves and reducing diseases like malaria. These countries will not be able to sell their goods to us and how many incalculable deaths will their be? How about the heart attacks strokes and people not getting diagnosed right now? VIRUS? Look at all the collateral damage and then mix in the economy. We are losing our rights and have been for many years. No pink hats folks man up and get our country back. Likely 99 percent of the people arm chair quarterback in stay quarantined have significant savings or on government assistance of some type and are able to maintain.  

---

Really? How many patience at McCormick place. How many false and paid for diagnosis, wildy incorrect models, exaggerations and sadly tens of thousands of deaths related to collateral damage because your scared. Thank God the founders didn't wear pink hats and were frightened. Having the Government steal our rights and bastardize the constitution for a bad flu with 99 percent recovery shows you and your ilk are clearly are the problem. I am sure you have the bills paid and income while you sit in the ivory tower becoming a Facebook MSNBC troll of sorts spreading propaganda like the sheeple in the 30s for the Nazis. Don't feel bad you don't know what you don't know and easier to stick with brainwashed decisions. Stay in your house and protect the folks that are most susceptible in the meantime let the true patriots get our country back so you can sit on your liberal ass and expertly judge. Good morning!  

Answer 8

I don’t see why not. As long as masks and gloves are required. And if it gets too crowded, make a line to get in. If it works for the stores, why not garage sales. (If you have one, send me the info please).

@munsey45390 it's not essential business. A garage sale or house party at this point is just blatant ignorance.  

---

@shaum6 a party is not the same as a garage sale.  

---

@munsey45390 it's a gathering of more than 10 in a small space if it's worth your time to set up for it.  

---

@shaum6 no guarantee of that

Answer 9

No oxygen in June executive order!  

Answer 10

You can do and have anyone at your home you care too. Period!  

Answer 11

Garage sales are a pain to host, and I feel like you would have very little in terms of customers. Probably wouldn't be worth it, regardless of the legality of it.  

Comments

If you have the sale post it and i will be glad to come.  

Answer 12

Seems that would put YOU at risk with different people touching things. You'd have to disinfect everything they touched or offer gloves that they could dispose of in a trash bin after. You'd have to wear gloves to handle money. You'd need to consider giving the unmasked a mask to wear too, then have to wash between customers. Sounds like more of a hassle right now than it's worth. Maybe try Naperville Garage Sale online for pictures, stats. People come and look (don't touch) unless buying. One at a time and you both keep your distance.  

Answer 13

I would post pictures online, and do a front porch pick up. I think it's the safest way to do it.
