    Evacuation Warnings should carry a legal responsibility to close all nonessential businesses until the immediate crisis is over.

    Honestly, even the Waffle House manager should hand over the keys to the Fire Chief. Those guys know how to cook, and clean up after themselves, should the need arise.

        Yep.

        Watching my 19yo niece wake up every morning to go work at the breakfast restaurant during the pandemic because she was essential.

        My 60yo mom waking up to work at the pastries factory with hundreds of other people during the pandemic because she was essential.
