Maren Morris Condemns Nashville Bar for Staying Open, and Country Fans Are Weighing In

The Responsible Thing

As one Facebook user pointed out, the responsible thing to do in this crisis is to try and implement social distancing in order to help combat the spread of the virus to yourself or others.

"People it's called being responsible!" they wrote. "I agree with Maren on this! Drink at home or at hotel!"

The Right Call

Yet another user was on the same page as Morris, as they commented on Facebook to write, "You go girl set there minds straight."

It Could Get Really Bad

One user noted that those, like Morris, are urging people to stay at home as much as possible so that the country doesn't have to go into full lockdown as Italy has already done.

"Not a bad idea, have you've seen what's happening in Italy and Spain," they commented. "Do you want Nashville to look like that?"

Happening Across The Country

One fan commented to say that many organizations in Washington state have shut down in an effort to halt the spread of the coronavirus. As they noted, these are done to keep workers and patrons safe.

"Here in Washington state schools are all closed for rest of school year restaurants closed zoo's closed all sporting events cancelled indefinitely and stores," they wrote. "and yes lots of bars because when people drink they dont take the precautions to keep WORKERS AND PUBLIC SAFE that's right some of these places closing to keep the WORKERS SAFE AND HEALTHY."

Some Don't Agree

Some commented on Facebook to say that they do not agree with Morris' notion that bars should close down. One user even wrote, "Good Lord should we just end our lives?"

It should be noted that the CDC (the Centers for Disease Control) has recommended that people follow proper safety and health measures amidst this pandemic, according to the Associated Press.

Stay Smart About The Situation

Another user commented to write that bars "are a sharing and caring place" and that they should "Close those door's!"

Be Proactive

Yet another fan directly commented on the fact that many responded to Morris' criticisms by ignoring the severity of the situation.

"Omg you people with these comments!!!! Nothing wrong with being proactive and protecting yourself and others by not going out and spreading this," they wrote, pointing out that Americans need to proactive about combatting the coronavirus as it continues to be a worldwide issue.
