Open the factories. Open the businesses. Open the stores. Open the restaurants.

Only one caveat: the CEO's family and all the stockholders must be present and wear NO protection.

You get all the profit? Then you can share all the risk.

How about it?

Don't expect any of those elite types to frequent the businesses where they are killing their employees.

Strange new world. Not sure the economics here.

After 2 weeks, bring in 1 employee at a time, tested and traced.

Also, I would like any celebrities or politicians who recommend we all get out there and work/party to go out and mingle in public instead of doing a show or talk from their comfy mansions. Hypocrites!

All non-essential owners/ceos are free to reopen any business.

But they have to sign a contract that puts their stock, bonuses, profits, etc in a trust untill a year after we have a working vaccine, to be payed out in generous terms to any worker or customer who has reasonable cause to think they caught covid19 due to working for or shopping at these businesses.
