Maybe.
Here in NY the parks playgrounds/common areas/bathrooms are closed but the parks themselves are open. Government (state/local) is encouraging us to get out and enjoy nature. As far as I know all the local boat ramps are still open. This may all change as we're still not at peak here from what I've heard/read.
Some businesses are shutting down. I've seen some vacation rental areas also deciding whether to even open this year. Other businesses are actually retooling - local sign shop actually stopped making signs and is now making gowns. GM, Tesla, Ford - all have manufacturing in NY - are trying to figure out how to make ventilators. Others are trying to gear up and make masks.
I read a story yesterday where Bauer stopped making hockey gear in Quebec and started making face shields for health care workers.
To their credit the company I work for is still open with ties to manufacturing and medical fields albeit some of us are starting to be asked to burn through our vacation time. At least I'm collecting a paycheck as is my wife.
For me...I'm considering whether to open my boat at all this year. Alot is going to depend on what's going on as its not like a sick person or someone who's carrying the virus is wearing a bright neon sign that says avoid at all costs. I have to weigh that with having a healthy family.
