Folks are getting restless and many leaders are being cautious … (some not so cautious … some overly cautious)
Not sure the best answer … beginning to need a haircut, many still looking for toilet paper, some hopeful officials will lessen the restriction relating to visiting the beach and lakes … miss sharing lunch or dinner with friends and family … ladies missing the beauty shops … many anxious to return to work…

People are still sick, many going broke … all concerned…
