So I'm not going to complain about being asked to come in. That being said, I do think that if we're coming into session, We should have done the logical thing, which is extend the order for the full 70 days. That would not be the stay at home order. That would have been the emergency order. But at the end of the day, when we can reopen, how we reopen is a decision that should be made with doctors and scientists, not politicians. (02:02–02:08)
