Back to life means different things to different people.With a little over 250 confirmed cases of coronavirus 19 in our area there is little consensus on re-opening businesses. People are very polarized on whether it should happen. After talking with several area leaders we think it will happen reasonably soon on a phased-in basis. Restaurant tables will be spaced out.

The Administration says 60 millioin payments will be made by direct deposit.
