Letter: When it is not worth it?
(Richard Vogel | AP) A grocery worker, wearing a protective mask and gloves, helps checking out a customer from behind a plexiglass barrier at the 99 Ranch Market in the Van Nuys section of Los Angeles on Tuesday May, 5, 2020.
With the state easing up on its restrictions you’ve got to think, at what point does it not become “worth it”?
How much plexiglass and personal protective equipment is needed in order to enjoy yourself at a movie or a restaurant? Sure, this could become the new norm and we as people can adapt to this with time, but is that a good thing?
How uncomfortable do we have to get to be comfortable once more? Implementing these restrictions means we as a state shouldn’t be ready to ease up. We shouldn’t even have considered reopening nonessential businesses just yet.
