You need to arm the people before you open up the economy

If you want to end social distancing, you need to give people the weapons they need to keep themselves safe. That means that everyone needs to have access to:

1) Masks- At least surgical preferably N-95
2) Hand Sanitizer- enough said
3) Disinfectant wipes

If you end social distancing and force people to go back to work and school without these basic weapons to protect themselves you are sending them on a suicide mission.
