The feedback I receive daily highlights the immense personal and financial strain caused by current restrictions. Your accounts of the challenges facing local businesses and religious institutions confirm the urgency of this mandate. I am currently preparing formal correspondence for state officials to ensure these concerns are presented directly to the decision makers.

The the fallout from crumbling economy will be far more crippling than this virus. America has to get back to work! Sincerely, Kyle Williams, working class citizen/lay minister
Our family already had all the symptoms starting in early February and recovering in late March (including my 80 year old mom). It's time to move forward in increments. Let go of the fear.
Quit holding us hostage and destroying our livelihood. Destroying our economy will kill more people (mental health, spiritual health, financial ruin) than any virus ever could.
Please open now! We can practice social distancing and wear masks and wash our hands and not touch our faces. But people have to get back to work. Our mental health is at stake as well as our financial health!
Since hospitals and medical professionals have not been overwhelmed as the models projected and will not be in the days ahead, it is time to restart our once booming economy and return to the public, in-person worship of our Triune God.
It is time to intelligently start opening up businesses. We should maintain distance and use masks when appropriate as much as possible. Good hand hygiene should be the norm anyway. Let all kids go back to school, they will help produce herd immunity and are at little risk from SARS Cov2 [more risk traveling to and from school]. We need to continue to protect the elderly and sick and they should continue to self isolate. Procedures may vary by location and infection stats/data etc. I think Sweden has it right on this approach and we should follow.
Truth will set you free.

Please get things moving forward. The small businesses still haven’t gotten much help with the loans yet. PPP is taking way to long to get. Sorry for the negativity but we have been just getting over the 2009 situations. Open things back up please.
