Some businesses are going out of the way to label themselves essential, and therefore require people to come to work or otherwise avoid being stopped.

Michaels is one company. Another is Restoration Hardware’s call center.

Joann Fabric is yet another.

A few are claiming that they are necessary because teachers and students might need resources. Sears claims that people might need tools or appliances.

If you keep expanding what people might need, there’s no quarantine/self-isolation to speak off.

The GOP are fine with that - and the body count will suffer. Americans will suffer.

Brix and her 200,000 if things go perfectly will turn out to be a wildly optimistic take as this disease takes a firm hold in the South and predominantly GOP states while spilling over into those states that are trying to be more diligent on testing and containment.
