Yes and add to that building permits, inspections, fire code compliance. Providing restrooms which would be a nightmare to insure they remained clean. Overall not an easy build.

I'm not assuming anything. Implement large fines for non-compliance and the businesses will police it. There'd be a lot more motivation to enforce the rules if following them allows the business to be open. The essential businesses are allowed to operate and just do cursory things like put masking tape on the floor. They have no motivation to enforce the rules because a grocery store knows they can't be shut down.

I feel your pain. If I was in charge movie theaters would be open with parties of no more than 6 spaced from each other like they do with the press in the white house press room.Buildings work just fine to project onto
I just really miss the movies, Ok? :/\

Florida beaches are closed, South Carolina beaches are closed yet the Georgia Governor just opened their beaches I don't understand the logic. It just seems like another burden placed on an already overtaxed police force. Something else they have to enforce --social distancing.

Do you have a source for that? I would like to read about it.
I'd imagine the Red Cross is being hit hard by this here - I was somewhat surprised to see a blood drive still going on near me. On the other hand, a friend of mine is a trauma surgeon and has said that surgeries are down without people leaving there homes much.

Like asking the fox to watch the chicken coop. Whenever I hear let the business police themselves, we usually know the outcome. Reminds me of just recently letting Boeing or Wells Fargo watch themselves. That usually doesn’t work.
Ok, let’s go with what you say and take restaurants right now with the guidelines as they are. Do we have every other table open? Do the waiters and customers still wear masks? These are the guidelines. It’s not just social distancing. It couldn’t work.

Think for yourselfer
That’s not really the point. The point is to create less instances of contact between individuals. We have to eat. Can’t avoid it. We don’t need to pick up new threads. So we eliminate that potential point of contact.

I'm still really curious why that model has error bars on the dates before the model was updated.
Interesting possible outcome for MLB -
"The plan, sources said, would dictate that all 30 teams play games at stadiums with no fans in the greater Phoenix area, including the Arizona Diamondbacks Chase Field, 10 spring training facilities and perhaps other nearby fields. Players, coaching staffs and other essential personnel would be sequestered at local hotels, where they would live in relative isolation and travel only to and from the stadium, sources said. Federal officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the National Institutes of Health have been supportive of a plan that would adhere to strict isolation, promote social distancing and allow MLB to become the first professional sport to return."

Sources: MLB, players eye May return in Arizona
Major League Baseball and its players are increasingly focused on a plan that could allow them to start the season as early as May in greater Phoenix and has the support of high-ranking federal public health officials, sources told ESPN.
WDW golf courses never closed. It still kept operating.
I'm sure and snowbirds living in Central Florida need their golf fix and one less operation to close for Disney. Wow, golf is an essential business!
Disney knows how to pull Disney magic off!

Auto insurance companies return $800 million in premiums because no one is driving
Two insurers -- Allstate and American Family Insurance -- announced Monday they will give back about $800 million to their auto insurance customers because people are driving far less during the coronavirus crisis.
Essential team yes, ( minimal security , maintenance , landscaping so the place doesn't fall apart ) but administrative teams as essential? I doubt it.
That's true! I just got an email from my auto insurance company that I will be getting a 15% discount for my April and May autopays!Auto insurance companies return $800 million in premiums because no one is driving

This virus is evil..
I have taken some time away from this thread and coronavirus headlines in general the past few days to try and detox a bit. But life pulls me back in...
After 10 days of being COVID-19 presumptive (since they’re only testing healthcare workers, their families and those who are very sick), with primarily extreme fatigue, cough and body aches (varying between no fever and low grade), my BIL’s temp jumped to 103 yesterday and he struggled to breathe. He is now in the hospital and has been confirmed positive (they just got in the rapid tests - ironically, I read a story about it on our local paper’s website yesterday). He’s on oxygen but not a ventilator...
He is 44, with a 6-year old son. No pre-existing conditions. On Sunday he was feeling a little better. I think until yesterday, my sister was in denial because he didn’t have a fever most of the last 10 days. Yet here we are. This is terrifying.

I would be very surprised if there weren’t some management teams in place working from home. Someone has to still be on the payroll as Disney ramps up again. Only makes sense.

Some administrative functions that can work from home will probably still be working.
