    I'm really sorry to hear that! Restaurants are allowed to do take out, right? Couldn't you do growler fills?
    Anyway, I wish you the best.

    This is rather disingenuous, you know damn well the final tally will be orders of magnitude more than 114. Maybe take of your tin foil hat and listen to the experts who have dedicated their lives to the study of infectious disease. They just might know more than you about the reality of the situation.

    I appreciate your thoughts. We can do growler fills and are delivering cans as well but it's not nearly enough to make up the revenue we are losing.

    I know, but nature adapts. Call it evolution. Our over crowded habitation zones are ripe for virus infection. Organisms, viruses, etc, adapt to their environments, the same way a shark has adapted to be the apex predator of the oceans.

    Nature is chemistry and physics, not a conceptual being's consciousness possessing free will. The human mind commands nature, and will one day eliminate all disease. But only if it chooses to do so.

    lol, you are getting hung up on this “being” thing. I know it’s not that, and I look at it the same way you do. As far as commanding nature, it TRIES to command nature. Doesn’t always work out, and we often go overboard, doing more harm than good. We’ll see what happens.

    If you think the collective can stop you from getting exposed to such a virus, you're wrong

    It is a bit depressing. My products are now marketable only below cost of production. But at least I’ve marketed a large share of my production from last season and have time for markets to rebound. You don’t.

    It has to be frustrating to be in a business where your product is in great demand but you can’t get it into customer’s hands. You definitely need an exemption so you can sell online.

    Did you say once you were going to try some deliveries?

    edit. I see you answered my question in a post I missed. :)

    Collective action can reduce the odds which is the point of the separation actions.

    The incubation period as far as we know is 1-14 days. We’re not sure what part of that cycle the asymptomatic are most contagious. This virus is a little sinister.

    Plus, we’re now hearing of cases of children and young adults with the virus (re: The OP).

    Yeah, if we all stood 6 ft apart and nobody ever moved again.
