Clothing is not considered an essential purchases even though we are for the most part required to wear it whenever we are in a public place.
Does that seem strange to anyone beside me?

    No one is saying clothing is not important, they are saying that in a crisis no one needs to be out browsing the racks. Unless your house just burned down you probably don't "need" to buy a stitch of clothing for the next year or two. Conversely, very few people can go long without buying groceries.

    Then they can order it online. For now, I support clothing stores being closed to shoppers. It is not an essential business.

    I worry about the economic impact too but that's a moot point if this disease gets any more out of control.

    Something that I've heard nothing of is the economic impact of severe illness or death.

I have two wash days each week and nudity is obligatory on those days - everything is in the wash.
