Open pa campgroundsWe need to open PA campgrounds. As long as social distancing rules are followed there's no reason they should be closed. People are closer to each other when they are waiting in line to get in at Walmart! You can't get more distant than being in the woods by yourself.161 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Apri Ambrose

Allow Massage Therapy and Spas to re-open!Servicing our clients this way poses little to no risk of spreading the virus, as compared to 20 or more people in a grocery store or 10 plus people at restaurants picking up food. The survival of the independently owned Spas and their professions are at risk. We are facing a grave financial hardship. Our industry is in the HEALTH AND WELLNESS business and is needed now if not more than ever.110 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Chancee Terry

Fitness supports immune system and well-beingMy wife and I are CrossFit gym owners in Orange County. We created our facility to be a place of healing and inspiration, and that is exactly what it is. We have a close-knit community, and our members tell us that no matter what kind of day they have had, they can come here and leave it all behind for an hour, and then leave feeling better. While stopping the spread of COVID-19 must be at the forefront of our efforts, we must consider the urgency of healthful activity. People have been largely left quarantining in a sedentary environment, devoid of sunlight, stress-eating sugary snacks. Each of these things alone when left unchecked becomes detrimental to health. When combined, though, the synergistic effect is a perfect storm for the development of toxicity, inflammation, and ultimately disease. The longer this goes on, the greater risk people have of making habits that will likely lead to obesity, chronic illness, and healthcare dependency, and the more overloaded the medical system will eventually become. At our CrossFit gym, we have nearly 4,000 square feet and each member has a dedicated station. When they are working out there is a naturally occurring 10 foot distance from one member's face to another. I would imagine that other CrossFit gyms are similar, as well. CrossFit gyms are distinct from any other type of gym: due to the length of barbells, as well as bodies moving spontaneously and quickly, social distancing is something that just happens without thought. Additionally, we keep a very clean facility; we have to, because that is what our members expect. In fact, they even clean their own equipment thoroughly when they put it away. We have also created a cleaner made from 75% ethyl alcohol and antiviral essential oils, which we began using aggressively to clean the equipment and stations prior to the mandate closing gyms. Physical activity and social interaction are vital to health and well-being, and we must be allowed to do our part as CrossFit gym owners: to provide environments that support healing and inspiration. Never before has this been so important. Please tell Governor DeSantis to support the re-opening of CrossFit gyms contingent on strict compliance with current social distancing guidelines and a thorough equipment cleaning protocol following each use - perhaps even gloves for a while until we are certain that the virus has been neutralized.121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ben Deasy

Massage therapists could help, but we need your help first!Massage therapists help so many people, but right now we need help. Self-employed and independent massage therapists are experiencing financial hardship as a result of the mandated closure. We provide a valued health service that is worthy of evaluating if the benefits outweigh the risk when appropriate precautions are taken.129 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lani Mitchell

One Client at a Time - Beauty/Permanent Makeup IndustryLike most beauty professionals, my salon business is my sole source of income and most of us live week-to-week, dependent on being able to provide services to our clients. While we are generally small businesses and sole-proprietors, we make up a large segment of our local economies. Our survival is at risk - we are dependent on being able to serve our clients to earn an income. In addition, we still have overhead to pay, such as rent and utilities in order to even have a business to return to.189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by TONI CHASE
