I disagree heartily with the above and agree with OP. If we are to even pretend to be a community, then the attitude that “it’s not our job to police people” just doesn’t cut it. It isn’t our job to report sightings, either. But we do it, to look out for one another, to do someone else a good deed.
This IS the time to look out for one another. And I think that removing the temptation to go out unnecessarily is a good deed. It is a small thing, but it is something that the mods can actually do.
And to the poster that wants to cling to “Normalcy” I say: Have you checked the news lately? This is not normal. We all should be making adjustments and closing the sightings for brick and mortar stores seems like the right move.
