We\u2019ve already done a great job of adapting ourselves and our healthcare systems to COVID-19 regulations, but we cannot continue to toggle our economy on and off. Gaspar believes that public safety and a healthy economy are not mutually exclusive, and hopes that we can keep our economy open while protecting our most vulnerable population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We can no more turn our economy on and off than we can turn this virus on and off,&#8221; Gaspar added. &#8220;We need to figure out a way to live with both.
