Interesting. I wasn't actually talking about myself.

But, since you are so concerned I will share my situation. My business is deemed "essential" by the powers that be. Among other things, we support hospitals, prisons, manufacturers, and others that have to stay open. I only have a few employees, so it has been pretty easy to keep them working at different locations or working from home. My wife works in the local hospital, so I feel it is my personal responsibility to stay away from people. I only go to my office when there is no option. We practice social distancing and keep everything wiped down.

The government can give the OK for you to open. They can't force customers to come to you.
There are a couple of problems with this. First, I feel that the government can only make recommendations. Second, if they do make a recommendation and a company goes against it, that company is opening itself to lawsuits.
