Arizona Governor extended stay at home order until 5/15 but loosened restrictions on small businesses and retail. They can open for customers May 8th (comply with CDC guidance on distancing).
Plan to reopen Dine-In coming in a couple days.

We're in a dangerous spot when we are celebrating "rights" granted us by our government.
162. The system is currently engaged in a desperate struggle to overcome certain problems that threaten its survival, among which the problems of human behavior are the most important. If the system succeeds in acqui- ring sufficient control over human behavior quickly en- ough, it will probably survive. Otherwise it will break down. We think the issue will most likely be resolved wi- thin the next several decades, say 40 to 100 years.
163. Suppose the system survives the crisis of the next several decades. By that time it will have to have solved, or at least brought under control, the principal problems that confront it, in particular that of “socializing” human beings; that is, making people sufficiently docile so that heir behavior no longer threatens the system. That being accomplished, it does not appear that there would be any further obstacle to the development of technology, and it would presumably advance toward its logical conclusion, which is complete control over everything on Earth, in- cluding human beings and all other important organisms. The system may become a unitary, monolithic organiza- tion, or it may be more or less fragmented and consist of a number of organizations coexisting in a relationship that includes elements of both cooperation and competition, just as today the government, the corporations and other large organizations both cooperate and compete with one another. Human freedom mostly will have vanished, be- cause individuals and small groups will be impotent vis- a-vis large organizations armed with supertechnology and an arsenal of advanced psychological and biological tools for manipulating human beings, besides instruments of surveillance and physical coercion. Only a small number of people will have any real power, and even these proba- bly will have only very limited freedom, because their be- havior too will be regulated; just as today our politicians and corporation executives can retain their positions of power only as long as their behavior remains within cer- tain fairly narrow limits.
This isn't pointing at you, specifically, I'm pointing at us, as a country.
Even a domesticated animal, if pushed too far, will bite it's owner.
We are a toothless society.
This has gone too far.

Not to argue your post, which I liked, but not all of us are "toothless". Some are just wanting to be sure that, what's likely to be a one shot effort to not be in vain. IMO.

90 days of hardship that we come through OK presumes that the economy really can bounce back. I'm not as sure. The longer this goes on and drags out the deeper that scars will be.
