This is noble and I agree, but for the majority it's about being able to avoid being inconvenienced. Most people who don't want to follow any safety precautions do it because they don't want to wear a mask or want to able to go bar hopping. Those people could care less about the people starving in the poor part of town. They never cared about them before. In fact, most were in favor of passing laws to keep them down. I'm sure there are some on here that genuinely are concerned about the well being of some of the unemployed, but for most, it's just the rationalization they are using to do whatever they want at the expense of a large group of at risk people.
If you really are concerned about the well being of business in America, keeping the country, the entire country, as healthy as possible is the number one issue right now. These businesses all need to be open, but that doesn't mean that everyone should just throw caution to the wind and do whatever they want. Distance as much as possible, wear your mask and do what you can to reduce the spread. Reopening businesses and simply letting the majority do what ever they want are two different things and as long as it's spreading, the economy and business is going to suffer whether restrictions are lifted or not. If you are in a management capacity at a business, the last thing you want is for the workforce to start coming down with Covid. There are probably high risk people serving in key roles and absenteeism always erodes productivity.
Finally, a lot of those high risk people are people who also need to work and provide for their families. What are they supposed to do while everyone else goes back to normal? They go to a job where no one is being safe because the healthy want to go back to normal or they stay home with no pay and starve? If people are really concerned about the "at risk" population, then they need to do what they can to stop the spread. Sticking them in a corner somewhere to protect them, while the rest of the world goes about it's business, isn't protecting them, it's just keeping everyone else from being inconvenienced.
